fiberglass sucks!! all it is is a filter, takes too much time to install properly. all itchy afterwards. cellulose is much easier and cheaper to install. I have been in weatherization for 6 years airsealing is quite important. to all that use filterglass have at that i like not itching lol
To maximize efficiency and comfort you need to stop or reduce both conductive and radiant heat flow. Adding fiberglass insulation is great to reduce conductive heat flow. Adding a Radiant Barrier will make fiberglass even MORE effective by reducing radiant heat gain. They work together.
i have done this for seven years and just quit it was the worst seven years of my life leave this to the pros dont touch that stuff if you dont have to
Installing insulation can be extremely dangerous! You cam screw up your lungs big time.YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK WITH NO HOLES AROUND THE CORNERS.I would wear a cartridge mask for sure,and not a cheap dust mask.
Also take into consideration the potential for mold. In basements, don't use paper-backed insulation because mold can grow on it if your basement is to damp. (run a dehumidifier if this is the case). I've inspected attics that had insulation between joists, but not covering them. In some situations the joists (in the cold winter months) transferred enough cold to cause dark lines to appear in the ceiling of the living space. I prefer to see blown in insulation covering joists in attics.

blown in insulation is not good. When condensation hits it, you will have a mold problem.

I think the girl in the green shirt is hot. Start with a loose fitting long sleeve shirt.
