If home insulation is so great (and no argument that it is), why is my attic 90% air above about a foot of insulation? Why isn’t the insulation 2 or 3 or even 8 feet deep? It works to keep heat out just as much as it keeps heat in, right?
You could stuff the loft space with insulation. But lifts are often used for storage, and there are benefits to allowing air to move in the roof structure; if there is any kind of leak in your roofing materials having sure free moving allowsthe roof structure to dry.
