Being in a northern zone, insulating the ceiling/roof is very important (and mandated by the building code).
One of the niceties of log homes are the cathedral ceilings with exposed beams (no attics).
I haven't seen a lot discussed anywhere about roof insulation. Most of the literature speaks of wall insulation factors. Which is all well and good, but a non-insulated roof/ceiling is a huge heat drain or summer heat oven.
Besides using "stress panels" (very expensive) or SIP panels (same expensive and heavy), are there any other insulation methods that would be attractive and yet preserve some of the asthetic value of the ceiling.
