What’s so Wrong with "Regular" Insulation?

Most other types of insulation

• Allow air flow around or through them, causing mould and moisture problems
  
• Let drafts in, which make you feel cold and make you turn up the heat
  
• Do not completely fill cavity and do not bond to the surface they are meant to insulate
  
• Settle over time, falling away from surface they are meant to insulate, rendering themselves ineffective
  
• Lose their insulating value over time, especially when they get damp, and will have to be replaced
  
• Research "Actual R-value" for more information
