is my drop cieling to blame?
I HAVE A FAMILY ROOM WITH 2 EXTERIOR WALLS AND A CINDER BLOCK WALL FOR OUR ADJACENT GARAGE. ALL THE WALLS HAVE FOIL BACKED INSULATION PACKED TIGHT. THE ROOM HAS A DROP CIELING AND 5 INCH GAP BETWEEN THE CIELING AND THE CIELING JOISTS WHICH ALSO HAVE FOIL BACKED INSULATION....THIS ROOM IS INSULATED LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELEIVE....PLUS TWO LAYERS OF ROCK ON THE EXTERIOR WALLS AND THE DIVIDING CINDER BLOCK WALL OF THE FAMILY ROOM./GARGAGE....THE THING THAT BAFFLES ME IS THE ROOM WAS FREEZING ALL WINTER.....I HAD TO ABANDON MY FAMILY ROOM THIS WINTER BECAUSE I COULD SEE THE STEAM OF MY BREATH IN THAT ROOM.....DOES THIER HAVE TO BE DRYWALL ON THE CIELING JOISTS TO STOP THE COLD........ALL THE CIELING JOISTS WERE INSULATED WITH R -19 FOIL BACKED ......AND IT WAS STAPLED TO THE JOISTS......THE PREVIOUS OWNER EVEN HAD TIE WIRE IN PLACE TO KEEP THE BATTS FROM FALLING TO THE DROP CEILING. SO THEY WOULD STAY IN PLACE....BUT I FEEL IT NEEDS DRYWALL TO SEAL THE AREA BETWEEN THE CIELING JOISTS
If you don't have heat going in there then it's going to be cold.
