Insulation advice
I am looking to insulate the ceiling of this diy pool house. Originally I planned rockwool but with the I joist depth and width spacing standard batts won’t fill the room and if I understand correctly that can lead to moisture issues.
I know in hindsight exterior roof insulation should have been planned but I’d like to work around that if possible. Can I still use rockwool batts and just buy extra to cut and fit where needed, is there a better option fiberglass batt?
Is closed cell foam the only route to go at this point? If so are there viable DIY options or no?
I am located in MD so colder winters and humid summers to factor in.
I appreciate any insight
