What happens here

Then, open a bag of cellulose insulation, which is typically blown-in or spray-applied, but for this test, it is manually fluffed and packed into a wall cavity. Due to its loose, crumbly nature, a plastic sheeting barrier is stapled to the studs to contain the insulation within the cavity. This insulation is often used for sound and thermal properties, and fire-rated versions contain borate treatments.

Goal: Install cellulose insulation into a wall cavity, using a temporary barrier to hold it in place.

good to know next up we have the sound and thermal and fire cellulose insulation they're used for attics walls and Floors it's blown in or spray applied this is going to be interesting to install because I don't know how uh put together it is but maybe we could just jam it in there this looks like recycled carpet this is going to be messy I ready for ah it's crumbling already okay um well let's just try to shove it in there I guess I need a respirator I don't know where my respirator is all right so there's no way I can get it to stay in there without crumbling down so I'm going to just need to create like a barrier for it to be held up I'm just going use some plastic the plastic will burn through and I'm sure when it's burning it's all just going to start piling out but at least it'll hold it a place for [Music] now next up is the reflective radiant
