Good Evening Friends,
R13 insulation that is 15" wide and 3 1/2" thick will cover 135 square feet.
How many rolls will it take to cover 2400 square feet?

As Ivan stated + 10 percent for trim/wastage by experienced installation contractor =19.56 or 20 rolls paid for.
If I do it myself 25-30 packs and 2 full skip bins of waste.

:p

I looked but it confused me (quite common occurence actually) as I thought "hang on there's six parts to a dovetail joint" which was my downfall, took me all day to realise Ralph asked about only the dovetail section, not the pins.
Being the son of an Artisan does not rub off I assure you. :(

Good Evening Friends,
Ivan was correct with his answer of 17.777 rolls, however the lumber yard is not going to sell you a part of a roll so your going to have to buy the full 18 rolls.

Thank you for your support.

Respectfully, :)
