I’m planing to insulate the crawl space under my 1880s house. I’ve been interested in using “Airkrete” formsulation. Has anyone experience with this product. Thanks in advance for your input.

Thanks, the product seems to solve the issue of reguired fire codes and the expense of providing a fire barrier to other type insulations.`Anyone have experience with the airkrete product?

Thanks again rez. Most seem to be doing research but no hands on. Had an installer come out, will get the estimate soon (?). I'm concerned about the price but internet suggests a price of about $2/SQft. Most available info says "it's Great" but an ad would say that.
Yes, seems to be a dearth of actually hands on comments regarding such.
Perhaps this round might shake someone loose.
