Hi Team,
Came across material can't seem to get my thumb on, as for a real name. It is like felt material, 3/4 - 1" this, in sheets. I found in in an attic storage area, and it was layed out like insulation. Any names? Thanks, Tom Last edited by tdietrich1; 2/17/09 at 11:55 PM.. |

Is it a stiff board like substance, or is it more fabric?

Barry Adair hit it on the head. It's acoustical insulation, like Micheal suggested. I was baffled since I've seen it before. Our standby generators had it covering walls to for noise reduction, but I couldn't understand its house connection.
Just a note, from hat I can see with my limited access to the attic area, the house is insulated with rolled batts of fiberglass insulation. Complete with vapor barrier, but the weird part, it's only about an 1" thick? Thank you, Tom |

it is probably asphalt sheathing that was used on walls in the 60';s some people thought it would work for attic insulation
