Hello. Looking for help with what to do with installing baffles. See picture. Vents are only on the front and back of the house and I will put baffles on them (blowing insulation in this year). However, I need help with what to do with the area where I have a circle. It is another area where I assume I would want air to continue traveling up to top of roof. Splitting up that circled area is the top of the stairwell (top of drywall going over stairwell, so that is a large amount of air that can get from lower attic space to upper attic space. Or maybe since air doesn't move horizontally without help, this large opening isn't enough?
Ok, looking up into the circle area, I see there are parts of batts stuffed in there. It is not completely blocking air but wondering what to do here. Maybe those batts aren't for blocking air there but something with the top of the ceiling and walls for floor 2?
- Do i keep those batts in, add baffles to everything
-Remove batts, add baffles (worried those batts are for something else, but maybe not)
-Leave everything as-is and blow in the insulation in that area too (the stairwell air space is enough, no baffles)
-Baffle a few extra, but not all, since stairwell air gap in there.
any ideas? Thank you in advance for any help.
