Interests in wet spray cellulose insulation in Boston, MA has been growing recently because it performs better than other insulating materials in many different aspects. One main advantage of this option is the ability to insulate without needing to remove interior drywall or exterior cladding in order to gain access to stud cavities. It has become a common choice in areas where space is an issue but there are other benefits of wet spray cellulose that makes it very popular.
The R-value of wet spray cellulose insulation depends slightly on its installed density and the exact type of cellulose used. This is one of the obvious reasons why it is best to hire a insulation specialist to do the job, regardless of the insulation being used. With the help of an expert, the appropriate density will be achieved in order to ensure that the R-value is enough to prevent air infiltration and heat loss.
Wet spray cellulose insulation is manufactured with a dry adhesive that is activated by moisture only at the time of application. Water comprises more or less half a percentage of the weight of this insulation. Due to the greater installed densities, the R-value per inch of this insulation material is significantly higher than batt products. Wet spray insulation is widely used when maximum R-value is desired in a relatively thin layer.
