Wet Spray Insulation for new construction & Remodels
 
Above: fabric used as backing
 
Below: Wet Sprayed Walls and Ceiling
Wet-Spray insulation installation technique is used for new construction and remodel applications (when wall cavities do not have sheet rock on at least one side). We mix cellulose with glue adhesive which creates a slightly higher R-value than loose fill cellulose applications. Special equipment is used to spray on the insulation. Cellulose is class 1 fire rated and has less settling in a wet spray application.
Ceiling Fiber
Sheetrock crews may install ceiling sheetrock before or after insulation is blown in the attic if the crew has accessible attic space. A thin fabric material is stabled to the stud before we install blown loose fill insulation unless sheetrock is already present. Sheetrock can be installed over this material.
Customer Preparation for Walls:
-
[ It is a necessity to have floors clear of debris (swept clean, no nails, staples, framing or pluming debris, trash etc.) since extra insulation is re-used for wetspray application.
-
[ Provide access to a running water source. If one is not available, please inform our office.
-
[ Provide 3 electrical boxes on separate circuits.
-
[ Provide access to breaker box or temporary service.
-
[ Process is extremely dusty due to it’s nature. Any adjoining living areas or the area itself could become dusty. Inform the crews of any areas that you have concerns about which may be tarped.
-
[ Provide access to driveway if possible.
Refrain from covering wetspray cellulose with vapor barrier unless walls are completely dry. Drying process may take several days. Large drying fans are available upon customer request.
