A couple generations ago the industry gave us faced fiberglass batts with the promise of an easy install with increased performance. While that one didn’t pan out, today you can install Havelock Wool batts covered with a Vapor Variable Membrane for the real version of that idea.
Ingredients
Comfort
No drafts and reasonably well controlled interior surface temps leads to far better than average comfort.
Efficiency
Typically a thin wall with limited density but the high thermal diffusivity of wool makes up for most of the losses.
Longevity
Havelock is one of the most durable insulations and also helps contribute to building durability. Intello keep moist air from moving through the assembly.
Social Impact
An enjoyable and healthy combo to install.
