Roll Insulation Question

I want to use it above an unheated (or rarely heated) lower floor room. The room above is heated space.

The lower room is a guest bedroom and storage area for wine.

I plan to put up a sheet rock ceiling the lower room when I'm done.

Now, which way should I face the kraft paper (vapor barrier on the roll)? Should it face down like is usually done, or do I face it up which would put it towards the more heated space?


2nd Question: The lower room is on a corner of the house and so is exposed to heat loss. I already used a can of spray foam to seal all crack, crevices, etc. at the top of the walls where they are exposed.

Is there anything else I can do to make it better insulated than just putting up the roll insulation, then the sheet rock?
