# How to Make a Roll of Insulation Stick to the Ceiling
Roll insulation provides a simple installation and is usually of good value for the footage obtained. Roll insulation can be used along any surface, including sandwiched into walls or the ceiling. As a general rule, roll insulation does not stick to anything, as it contains no adhesive. Rather, it is attached to the beams and studs with staples.
