Insulate an Attic -

When installing fiberglass insulation in your attic, it’s important to position the paper or foil vapor barrier so it faces the inside of the home to prevent condensation from occurring.

If spray foam insulation isn’t in your budget, here’s a more affordable option, especially for an older home like this that had no insulation at all. Go out and pick up some crop paper pasted insulation and roll it out in the attic between the ceiling joists. Now it’s important to keep the crop paper which is the vapor there down so it faces the heated room. Then just rolled it out, make sure it fits nice and tight in between and just continue to fill every bay.

Now, if you already have insulation in your attic and its crop paper paste or foil paste and you want to increase the energy efficiency your home, you can add insulation on top of it but use un-phased installation as I have here. This has no paper or foil at all. So you don’t have to replace this with thicker insulation, just take an un-phased installation and roll right on top and that one step there will make your home much more energy efficient.
