What are nylon straps and where can I buy them?
Gay writes from Charlottesville, Virginia: “I am insulating the crawl space under my house. The joists are more than 16 inches wide, so the 16 inch insulation hangers do not work. I read on your web site that there is something called nylon straps that can be used to secure the insulation. What are nylon straps and where can I buy them?” Answer: Nylon straps or banding is simply a type of insulation support. They can be found at retailers like Lowe’s and The Home Depot, along the same aisles as the Fiberglas™ insulation.
