2" foam would give you a much better R value than the stuff that was in there.

Purchased Dow blue foam 1.5 inches thick, will fit between the 2x2 or I should say 1.5x1.5 rafters.

If using batt insulation in a ceiling in a building, you require a gap or space for air movement and it needs to be vented to remove moisture, whether it's a vaulted ceiling or has an attic.pianotuna wrote:That was the point of me asking. They use unfaced and I wondered about using faced and humidity build up in a closed roof, no attic to vent.
Think about how a vapor barrier is installed in a house.
