Steve teams up with Nu-Wool and meets with Heath Walker to discuss their various insulation products that are being used on the …
Matt reaction, re: the news article about meganational builders monopolizing the building market and strangling opportunities for startup builders. And that megabuilders are slower, with poorer quality, but sell high because there is so much demand. What to do about that? I wish all houses were built to this shows quality!
All this hate for cellulose. It won’t settle if installed to the correct density. There are convincing studies to suggest the insulating properties are much better than the face r value. The rockwool and fiber glass I’ve pulled out covered in mouse and squirrel piss and shit and with so many tunnels it’s basically doing nothing, wouldn’t lead me to say that you shouldn’t use it. Installation is everything. Both of those products, I personally avoid because they are nasty to work with and carry a significantly higher carbon penalty. The disasters I’ve seen from spray foam are another subject entirely.
I see a lot of benefits in blowing cellulose into a finished wall as there aren’t nearly as many options but I wouldn’t do it when it comes to new construction. New construction I prefer mineral wool (Rockwool) as it is far cleaner, won’t settle, excellent for sound control, no issues if it gets wet, won’t let air through. Weird to watch a article like this where no one cares enough to put a dust mask on. Good luck working for a company like this and surviving for a couple of decades with never using a dust mask. At 12:35, the ladder isn’t rated for his 180 lb. frame? Or the additional 50 lbs. that makes up his weight.
36:36 after finishing up a renovation for my family and already having to patch dented new drywall I’m honestly gonna say not only should 5/8th be the default, but if I were to do it all over again I’d use mostly drywall with at least the first level of impact & abuse resistant It’s just gonna be worth it over the generations for SURE. (I can’t remember if level 2 is the first level of abuse and impact resistance over standard drywall)
Imho going from 0.4 to 0.15 on the blower door test in regards to having Aerobarrier done, could be just the resolution of the test system and is not enough difference to make a difference. Seams like a waist and in that sense would not be “going green” A score of 0.4 is exceptional and we probably can call it good right?
SB, Not all of New England does the ‘blue board’ plastering. Here in CT, we typically do drywall and tape, and central to western Mass. I have only heard it being done in Eastern Mass. and the Cape. It does look good and the cost is definitely more than drywall. good article. Highly impressed with the insulation. thanks.
Steve, I’m curious as to why the owner/contractor would spend the money on AeroBarrier when you were already below Passive House standards for air leakage. It’s probably too late to get a response, but it seems like it would take a hundred years (literally) to recoup the cost of AeroBarrier through reduced utility bills based on the tiny improvement in air sealing that was achieved. Same goes for any microscopic improvement in building performance relative to air and water vapor management. Please elaborate if you happen to read this. Thanks.
I appreciate the article, Steve. I wouldn’t use these Nu-Wool insulation products in a million years, but I enjoy seeing the various products that different builders and architects use. I’m a mineral wool guy myself, but there are multiple ways to accomplish similar results and I know the owner/contractor of this house is very knowledgeable. But man; what a mess and so many opportunities for failure. Anyway, thanks and keep ‘em coming.
