Does cellulose prevent the common problem of badly installed insulation?
Yes. 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 the world, 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. 4. Will Cellulose Insulation Lower my Cooling Cost? Yes. By using cellulose insulation, we are able to create a tighter building envelope. This means your maintenance and operating costs on heating and cooling systems will be reduced because
