Does cellulose prevent the common problem in Australia of badly installed insulation?
Cellulose has a clear advantage over batt-type insulation, which is cut off-site & sometimes doesn’t snugly fit the space between ceiling joists. This installation problem is known as thermal bridging or thermal short-circuiting and can substantially reduce insulation batts’ effectiveness. This problem is common throughout Australia, because it’s always difficult to fit insulation batts into ceilings with no gaps between the batts & the ceiling joists. For example, installing an R3.0 insulation batt in your ceiling with a 4% gap between the batt & the ceiling joist reduces the batt’s insulation performance by 50% to R1.5. By choosing ‘no-gaps’ cellulose insulation, you’re home is guaranteed to receive the insulation performance as advertised.
