What material are you considering for your attic?

Deeply appreciate covering a situation where cellulose would *not* be recommended! It is far too rare that attitude of providing information is available. Great job!

Great information. Just wanted to know before we get our home done.

Even more important is air sealing. Your 2nd criteria is environmental impact, and then you suggest spray foam. Use what ever material for insulating you like, but be sure to air seal. The reason Codes call out R values is because its easily measurable. In order of importance in any home is 1)water 2)air3)vapor 4th and last...Insulation.

Very informational. Thank you for the video, and god bless.

Good vid. My question is why are there no vids on blow in cellulose insulation in floor joists ?

Guy was here today in minnesota friend of friend using cellulite couple weeks out spring put in a couple vents in the spring nice video

if i had my way it would be cellulose in the attic and sheep wool in the walls (there is wool insulation made for houses) im sensitive to VOC's so the less the better for me. I worked on one house where the home owner spray foamed the roof sheathing from underneath so the attic was now considered part of the conditioned airspace and made it possible to install an HRV in the attic

I have a bungalow built in the late 50's . I have taken out all of the old insulation and put in 6 inch rockwool batts . Rafters are 6 inches . current R is 22 (rockwool) . I have used pieces of 3/8 plywood in the attic to get around easier . It's not nailed down . Can i add cellulose directly over the plywood ? I need to achieve r-60 to 70 .

Thank you for the information. I am considering insulation...Is cellulose the same as two-part foam? I am reviewing information from the EPA. According to the EPA, two-part foam may result in an increased levels of Radon. prior to insulation, if i choose to move forward ..., it is required that I sign a "Radon Informed Consent form" i guess that tells all... Do you have any videos on the two part foam insulation?

Do we need Vapor barrier for cellulose in the attic?

I am considering blown in fiberglass over 4" rockwool

I plan to add more cellulose over existing 40 year old cellulose

A real misconception is formaldehyde in modern insulation.

Foam, by far the best!

Mr. Sunshine also better insonorisation. And eco friendly. Cellulose is the best

Have 6 inches of pink in the attic. Going to overlay the Cellulous over it.

Foam is better because it provides an air barrier. Cellulose, like fiberglass, can not stop airflow. Insulation that allows air to flow through it is not an effective system. Foam will literally pay for itself in under 7 years vs cellulose and 5 years vs fiberglass when installed by a pro. Buy once cry once, reap the benefits. DIY foam kits are extremely cost effective and very easy to use/ apply. The foam costs twice the price of cellulose, but offers many times more performance benefits and is easier to apply than cellulose. For a DIYer, foam is actually easily 3 to 4 times faster to apply so if you have any value to your time, foam is cheaper when you factor your labor cost. Clean up is less as well.

Doesn't foam release a bunch of VOC's not only during the install but on a continuous basis for a long time?

Cannot find the kits, but if they were available it would be over 10 times the cost of cellulose. My quotes were ranging from 20,000 to do a garage with 1600 sq ft. Cost to do dense pack and blow in cellulose will be less than 3k

@@GoldensRule45 I know the kits are available with free US shipping because I've bought them. You get 650 board feet in a kit, they sell kits is bundles of 4 or 10 with reduced prices. You can spray foam in a 1600 sq ft building for under $3k

Die Dämmung stoppt nicht den Luftstrom. Luftdichte Folien und OSB sorgen dafür.

I stopped watching when he said impact on the environment

Was herrscht der Irrglaube das Dämmung luftdichtet. Niemals im Leben. Luftdichte Folien mit klebebändern und OSB Platten sorgen für luftdichte
