Ok, the walls are all set with foam insulation, how about the ceiling? I plan on using R19 but I'm not sure whether I need faced insulation or not.

Hi coach

Why insulate ceiling? Sound deadening?

Sound. It's right below a bedroom.

Use non foiled insulation.

Good luck

You can use batts if you use non faced you would probably have to put some poly up so it stays in place

In a ceiling you do not need faced insulation. Use the plain faced batts.
