Closed up skylights, is this the correct insulation?
Hi All,
As the title says, I had a few skylights closed up. My friend who does decent Sheetrock work isn’t coming for a few weeks. I also didn’t think about the massive amount of conditioned air I would lose through these things. This area of the house has no attic.
My questions;
Is this foam insulation directly on the plywood enough?
Is it even correct?
Do I seal the gaps? If so, what type of foam or caulk?
Do I remove all Sheetrock inside the box before closing up?
If none of this was correct, what do I do? AI answers are garbage and only tell you what you want to hear.
