What’s so Wrong with "Regular" Insulation?
Most other types of insulation
- Allow air flow around or through them, causing mould and moisture problems
- Let drafts in, which make you feel cold and make you turn up the heat
- Do not completely fill cavity and do not bond to the surface they are meant to insulate
- Settle over time, falling away from surface they are meant to insulate, rendering themselves ineffective
- Lose their insulating value over time, especially when they get damp, and will have to be replaced
- Research "Actual R-value" for more information
