It is possible to install a radiant barrier yourself. However, knowing how to install a radiant barrier and actually doing it are two totally different things. For example, it’s important that they be installed in a straight line but at an angle that creates a gap between the roof panels and the foil or spray. If this gap is too large or small, it won’t function as it should, and that may be hard to avoid if you’re only a novice. When in doubt, leave this job to a pro.

Yes. Bathroom insulation requires a vapor barrier. As a matter of fact, bathrooms and kitchens are the two areas of the home that should always get a vapor barrier because of the excess moisture. If you don’t have a vapor barrier in place in these rooms, the moisture will build up and eventually lead to mold and bacteria, not to mention the destruction of the insulation.

While there are many different kinds of insulation, spray foam, blown-in, foam board, and batt and roll are the four types you’re most likely to see. That doesn’t mean they’re alike, though. Each one varies drastically in terms of cost, materials used, and how they’re installed—not to mention, how well they limit heat transfer.
