Re: Limited Attic Space, no insulation, need help fast
|
Text of the message: |
It seems to me that cellulose has two drawbacks- 1) It is flammable. 2) It is biodegradable and can support the growth of some micro-organisms. The manufacturer could add biocides to limit this second issue, but the underlying problem remains. Polyurethane foam OTOH is inert to most micro-organisms but is flammable. Flame retardants can be added but if the surrounding wood supports the flame, it will still burn but with a lot of toxic smoke. Could I suggest a small layer of fiberglass insulation on the attic floor? It is not as an efficient insulator as the others, but from your description of the temperature extremes you don't need that much. By the same token, it will not cause as much overheating of the wiring and will not by itself burst into flame if that were to happen. If access for laying an insulation matt is problematic, I believe fiberglass can be blown in the form of "chops" much like cellulose |
