Foil insulation underlayment is recommended under a metal roof, and in most cases, the shiny side should be facing up, but there’s a catch. Foil insulation is a radiant barrier, and it works by reflecting heat from the metal, but for it to do its job, there has to be a layer of air between the roofing and the foil.Click to see full answer. Then, which side of insulation faces out?Hi Kim, Regardless of whether fiberglass insulation is installed in a wall, attic, or crawlspace; the paper facing should always face toward the inside of the home. That’s because the paper contains a layer of asphalt adhesive which prevents water vapor from passing through it. what does the foil do on insulation boards? Foil covering is claimed to add to the insulation value where the board faces onto an air gap. When the board is covered on both sides the foil adds no value. Almost all of the boards were perfectly fine for sticking in a roof. In this regard, which way up does Celotex go? It faces in, it faces out, it faces towards the roof, it faces towards the space, it faces towards the room. And wait for it, it should have foil on both sides, so all is correct, because it can face the room, the ceiling, the roof and the space all at the same time.What happens if you install insulation backwards?In an upside down installation, where the paper faces the unheated portion of the home, moisture from the humid inside air can condense and become trapped inside of the insulation during cold winter months. This will likely result in fungal growth (mold) and rot.
