ABSTRACT:
A method is provided of installing flowable fibrous insulation in the cavity between the studs of a wall under construction, the wall cavity being open on one side and otherwise enclosed. The method includes covering the open side of the wall cavity with a removable pressure plate to substantially enclose the wall cavity. The pressure plate contains at least one aperture, preferably positioned proximate the top of the pressure plate. The wall cavity is substantially filled with flowable fibrous insulation delivered through the aperture in the pressure plate. The pressure plate is removed, and subsequently the wall cavity is enclosed by addition of the interior wall surface. A blowing wool-grade glass fiber insulation can be used. The method permits construction of well-insulated exterior walls sheathed with a material having an integral vapor barrier and having a wall cavity filled with densely-packed loose-fill insulation. The method permits insulating any partially open cavity.
