- Fiberglass Batts: Common and cost-effective, but proper installation is crucial to avoid gaps.
- Rigid Foam Board: Offers a high R-value and creates a vapor barrier, though it's more expensive.
- Spray Foam Insulation: Provides the highest R-value and excellent sealing
- Blown-In Insulation: Suitable for challenging spaces but requires professional installation.

- Make the Knee Wall Area Like a Room
- Make it Like a Room for Ducts: If there's no good air flow, keep insulating from the attic to the floor.
- Insulate the Knee Wall Area: If you're not using it for storage, seal the framing and insulate the wall for better warmth.
- Ventilate the Knee Wall: Use vents to let air flow, but be careful about adding humidity that can hurt wood and other materials.
