Insulation Install

Clip Summary

George Saylor from Owens Corning is on location to install, and explain the unique properties of, the insulation being used in this project.

Before work begins, Bob notes the importance of wearing protective gear, including gloves, hat, long-sleeve shirt, pants, particle mask, and eye protection, when working with fiberglass insualtion.

Owens Corning has provided a fiberglass insulation that delivers an insulation value of R15 in only three and half inches of thickness. The material's higher density creates smaller, more uniform cells of trapped air, providing a high degree of insulation within a tight space, making it more efficient.

In the living spaces, interior walls are filled with fiberglass batt insulation to prevent the transfer of sound from room to room.
