thank you for enlightening my lantern


+1; Glass wool like 10 cm thick bonded to kraft paper sags after a few years if it is not kept to a minimum (in line with its thickness).
At home, by dismantling a partition we could measure that the sagging of the glass wool was between 20 and 30 cm and thus created a beautiful thermal bridge over the entire upper periphery of the room.

A colleague seems to have solved the problem by laying this glass wool himself, but supporting it by growing stainless steel braking wire over a good part of the surface. By dismantling for modification about 25 years later, that had absolutely not changed.

Why do you think glass wool and rock manufacturers are listed on the stock exchange ... and not the others : Cheesy:

The insulating wools pack and capture moisture so they are worth nothing or almost after 20 years ... period!

The mistake that many make is to hand over wool ... : Cheesy: : Cheesy: : Cheesy:
