Development of "stud hugger" systems for insulating walls with cellulose fibre insulations / by R. E. Platts. : NH15-162/1-1995E
The newsprint cellulose insulation industry has long wanted to supplant mineral fibre batts in insulating walls in house construction, and test show that pumped (blown) cellulose can do a superior insulation job; given a supporting enclosure for the open interior face of the framed wall cavity. Following a brief review of two failed attempts to provide such support (the first, a site-manufactured polyethylene-skinned cellulose batt, the next a moveable, snugly fitting plastic form) this report recounts the successful R&D which, with support from CMHC's HTIP program, offers the industry a workable and competitive system.--Abstract
