    Basement bathroom ceiling insulation
    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.

    Why insulate ceiling? Sound deadening?

    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.
