Yup "Pop goes the R-value". This job is too much like work to do a half baked (pun intended) job. No one wants a do over and the wrong material assures a "baked in the oven result" as far as interior temps here in Hotlanta in the summer!
I struggle with thickness of the material. Thickness is goodness as far as thermal insulation on the other hand carpet fit is impt. too. Some of the carpet guys supply carpet with some edge trimming needed and I think that is the solution to a slightly thicker insulation material. A little careful trimming is better than having a shortage of carpet material around the edges.
