You have to ensure that the insulation you are using is flame proof and heat resistent, special insulation specifically for this purpose should be available at the hardware store.

What insulation is best for attics?

Loose fill (usually fiberglass or cellulose) or batt insulation (usually fiberglass) are both good insulations for attics. Batts are better for do it yourselfers, but loose fill is cheaper to install when using a contractor.

Can you bury insulated outdoor wire run through PVC?

you could but the pipe might fill with rain water during a storm, but as long as it doesn't have any opening/cuts in the wire insulation it should be fine.


Why do you fill cavity walls with insulation foam?

Insulating foam is just one thing that can be used. Insulating the wall cavity stops heat exchange with the exterior which is a problem during extreme climate conditions like winter and summer. Insulation works by stopping air movement through the cavity. The real trick of insulation is that it isn't the insulation material itself that stops the heat exchange, it is the air trapped in it that does. Air is a poor conducter of heat energy provided that the air is stagnant (not moving around). When applied, the foam bubbles up as it expands, trapping air in the bubbles as it hardens making it an excellent heat insulator by virtue of the air trapped in it.

Is loose-fill a form or type of insulation?

Yes. It is insulation consisting of small particles of materials such as fiber and foam. These particles form an insulation material that will fit into places where it would otherwise be difficult to install. It's a form--they make loose-fill out of either cellulose or fiberglass. They could make it out of other things--wool, for instance--but cellulose and fiberglass are both cheap and easy to make, so that's what they use.

How is insulation installed?

Well Depending on what the form of insulation is, the installation can be different. Typical fiberglass loose fill and paper backed insulation is what you usually see in homes, mostly pink but sometimes yellow and other colors depending on the manufacturer. Fiberglass insulation is easy to install by placing between the studs in a wall, paper side out, held in place by staples along the extended tab on the paper side. Loose fill is installed exactly how it sounds it would be, loosely packed in open holes, usually in attics and vent spaces in roofs to help with areas that are not able to be insulated with other products. But there are other forms of insulation still, like but not limited to; recycled newspaper that is blown into place by professionals using a blend of water, glue and fire retardant chemicals for safety, foam sealant insulation that is an epoxy rosin that expands and hardens over time to fill small gaps and holes in a structures exterior, and also Styrofoam board insulation that comes in different thicknesses and densities for stronger or lighter insulation as with all insulation that is stated by a reference number for the product designated the "R" Value for labeling use. I hope that this was helpful in answering your question.
