Cathedral Ceilings and Rotten Plywood 1 Citation Our house was built in 1961, and has cathedral ceilings throughout. While this is an attractive architectural feature, it means that there is no attic, and hence, very little insulation. Living where we do - where winter?s weather regularly hits -40 degrees Celsius - this is a problem for us, and the environment.
