I have a home built in the late 70's there is insulation in the walls and ceilingI think about 4 inches thickThere is NO attic none at all the ceiling is vaulted to give very high interior spaceThe insulation in the ceiling is about the same as the walls about 4 inches or so.What are my options to increase the insulation? I know we could take down the interior walls and re-insulate with better material but i would love to hear other effective options.i live in SE MA (fall river / taunton are the two closest cities to me)
First you have to convert the given density to how many grams/cm3then you use this as a conversion factor to set up an equation with only one unknown (the thickness), and solve for that unknownNote that you have to flip the conversion factor so that the correct units cancel outSo: 3.77g x ?cm3/?g 30cm x 28.8cm x Xcm Re-arrange to: [ 3.77g x ?cm3/?g ] / [ 30cm x 28.8cm ] X cm notice that all the units cancel out nice n' neat, leaving only the answer units of cm.
I would think with a huge small holes you could have blown in insulation added from inside and the repairs would be minor and virtually unnoticeable.
