In my fifteen years in this merry business, I have yet to see one installation of cellulose in wall cavities. We use two different insulation installers who primarily batt and blow in fiberglass. One of the companies has one crew that does blown in cellulose by wetting and blowing directly into the cavities. What are the disadvantages of this method ? Why is it necessary to drywall a new home and then cut a million holes in the walls to insulate ? It is obvious that packing density is key. Are achieved R values that much greater by either stapling all that mesh or drilling all those holes and then packing ? My eyes ache from reading all the posts on this subject, but I couldn’t find an answer.
