I am selling my house and I recently had a home inspection. The house is 25 years old and the insulation in the attic is at least 8 years old. (installed before I moved in)

The inspector noted that the attic floor insulation was installed paper side up and reccommended that it be changed.

Should I have the insulation turned over?

Thanks for your help,

ED

Is this the only insulation up there ??? If so yes it should be paper to the room side or celing. If its on top of other insulationit should have the paper cut up all over then turned over . ED;)
