   It has a high recycled content and less risk to the installer than fiberglass (loose fill or batts). [27] R-Value 3.4 – 3.8 (RSI-0.60 – 0.67) per inch (imperial units) Loose fill insulation fills the wall cavity better than batts. Wet-spray applications typically seal even better than dry-spray. Class I fire safety rating

4. Cellulose insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_insulation

   Demand for insulation increased following the oil embargo of 1973–74, which caused energy costs for heating to skyrocket across the United States, driving interest in energy conservation. Insulation gained significant national attention in the U.S. as a cheap and available technology to increase the energy efficiency of homes. In 1977 ...

5. Building insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

   Thermal insulation in buildings is an important factor in achieving thermal comfort for its occupants. [4] Insulation reduces unwanted heat loss or gain and can decrease the energy demands of heating and cooling systems. It does not necessarily deal with issues of adequate ventilation and may or may not affect the level of sound insulation.

6. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

   Loose-fill insulation comes in loose fibers or pellets and should be blown into a space. Rigid foam is more expensive than fiber, but generally has a higher R-value per unit of thickness. Foam-in-place insulation can be blown into small areas to control air leaks, like those around windows, or can be used to insulate an entire house. [33]

7. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes ...
