I am putting on a second floor addtion to my house and we are at the point that we are getting ready to insulate. I already bought the fiberglass batts, but my wife and I just attended a local home show and saw a company that does spray on insulation. insulright is the name of the company. They are coming out in a few days to give us a quote to do the walls and the attic below the roof - they say that it doesn't really raise the temperature of the roof signifgantly and from what I have read they are correct and that it really keeps the temp down in the attic. With having installed the HVAC in the attic, keeping this area somewhat controlled environment sounds like a good idea. I am sure that this stuff insulates far better than fiberglass, but a few questions that I have are:
a. Does this seal the house up to much - I know you want some fresh air coming in.
b. does it cause any problems to the electric wiring over time?
c. How do inspectors view this stuff?
d. Is there any other potential problems with it?
Thanks to all who have answered my other questions - you have been most helpful.
