Insulation Substitute

How thick should my walls be, should I float my floors (and if so, how), why is two leaf mass-air-mass design important, etc.

Insulation Substitute

Post by Chaz »

Just a quick question.....

Have others used 1" or 1.5" HVAC rigid ductboard a substitute for 703/705 insulation with much success? I have used it in my personal studio designs due to a cost factor, as it is also compressed insulation, but am asking for professional opinions based on personal experience with both.

Thanks.

Haven't actually used it as yet, but spec-wise I saw a couple of versions that are virtually identical to 703/705, except better because the surface is more durable. I'm not sure what the different surface does to grazing incidence (as compared to straight on, 90 degree incidence)

Anybody else?
