There is lots of research out there on line, but I would get a good roofing consultant - the a potential installer - to give you better ideas for the amount of funding you have. I would have concerns about sound issues with only 2" of foam. Even with as much as 6" in some areas of ours, you can definitely hear heavy rainfall.<div>Steve Rees</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Stephen E.
