Spray foam insulation used for raised ceiling duct chase
Spray foam insulation used for raised ceiling duct chase.
The attic kneewall and the open floor cavities under kneewall are both sealed and insulated in one step with spray foam insulation
The builder installed this OSB under the roof rafters and air sealed the seams with tape then added a dropped drywall ceiling to provide a service cavity for ducts and wiring, while minimizing holes into the attic.
