I'm trying to head the advice here and take my insulation seriously.
I'm curious if there is a sticky that explains the relative R-values of the most commonly used insulation?
Also, the blankets I've seen are often covered with a concrete cladding. Doesn't compressing the air space with this heavy layer of concrete destroy some/much of it's insulating value?
Is the concrete cladding insulative? Or does it serve more as a heat sink? I ask because I noticed the old style was to put the insulative floor below the structural floor, and that has been reversed now.
I'm wondering if putting the fire board insulation on the inside of the brick walls between the loose vermiculite the wall would help anything, relative to the cost of doing so.
Thanks again to everyone here willing to share their knowledge and experience!
