I am a builder from belgium, and like mentioned its a standard here..with many different brand and types of products, Gutex , pavatex, steico and many more. product that i did not see on the VS online videos, are "underlayer roof wood fibers" like gutex multi top.. they make it so easy to make roof airtight, add acoustic isolation and raintight . Can be open to the elements and rain up to 3months. We also have alternative eco insulations as cotton, sheep, and mushroom insulations prices are higher but better for human health en earth Maybe to mention we wear protection ( like Swedish sundstrom sr 900 in my opinion the best mask in comfort and safety for woodworking) when we spray/cut in closed spaces … just to be sure and our safety laws are quite strict here To Kyle keep up with the good work! Glad to see building quality/entertainment / education on TH-cam. There not many off those or need to discover them.. I can not find the time and energy to make videos during work.. and having a construction company. heads up for that, don’t think many people realize that the amount of effort that goes into that..
I always appreciate intelligent input from builders in other countries. I am subscribed to Northmen here on YT and love watching how they build even though they don't put out much content anymore.
Just used the wood fiber batts on my remodel here in Sweden. Works great. A bit stiffer than other batts so takes a bit more precision to install than other types. Other than that I can only see positives with it. So nice to not be itchy all over.
I work for a building material supply company. One of our distributors recently started carrying this and their rep has been coming around trying to get us to push this product. All of us at the store I work at were a bit skeptical about it. I think it will take a bit before it really starts to take off in the US. But seeing it being used and knowing a bit more about the product, I can see it slowly being more widely adopted as an alternative for glass and cellulose insulation.
Anything new takes time but if folks are using cellulose... they are using paper that is similarly treated so they should be able to get on board with this pretty easily.
I'm going to research more into this, especially in Remodels and for making a "green" product that's actually helpful on the environment and people. Thanks for the video!
My eyes and throat were itching just watching this... also, that's a lot of trust in the SIGA tape to hold the weight of all that insulation (I appreciate in due course there'll be an actual ceiling).
It turns out the tape didn’t hold in some places and Kyle sadly had a big mess later, as shown on his Instagram. I’m a little surprised he didn’t mention that in this video. I guess he was avoiding having a bad association with this new product, but the problem could’ve happened with any blow in material if it were dense enough.
I was planning to use cellulose (in addition to exterior mineral wool) when I remodel my house and now I'm very interested to hear why Kyle doesn't like it. This timber product seems promising. I like that it's made from waste and doesn't off gas chemicals, which is a win-win.
I love This Old House! I was wondering if you might mention the show cause that's where I first saw this product as well. I've met some of the This Old House crew in person and they are extremely nice and care a lot about doing things the correct way, just like you. Keep up the awesome work!
Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper products. Paper is made from wood. Timber hp is made from wood. The 1.6 pounds per cubic foot is the same. The depth required to achieve R-60 is the same (small variances between different manufacturers). They both are treated with borates for fire retardant, bug/pest/mold resistance. I am intrigued by the liquid applied borates versus dry and its effect on the dust during installation, although it seems that there is still plenty of dust with product after seeing you leave the attic after applying the product (liquid being much easier to see through vs. traditional cellulose). I realize that this is an ad for the product, so I understand your enthusiasm.
I'm pretty sure you only fired one nail in each joist when you hung that strapping up .putting full weight on them boards when your in the attic was not a great idea.be carefull out there boys.!!!
Working in the commercial Nuclear Power plants around the U.S., the one thing we are always on the lookout for is Boric Acid leaks.

Please be on the lookout for where this product becomes in contact with building components framing nails/screws etc.
Makes sense that wood is a better insulator than glass for sure, and it even makes sense that it’s better than rock! Maybe you’ll give some feedback in a few years and tell us how you like it then after you’ve gone through a few winters and summers with all the moisture and condensation that comes, especially in summer when it’s hot and rains!
@@badawesome I’ve worked in construction for decades! They’ve done some things to change it! Rockwool is made of rock but they do some things to change it! Just like fiberglass is made from glass but they do things to make changes in its chemistry!
@@alanjackson1015 I think you missed the price because of density because wood is a better insulator than rock or glass! They talk about that in the video when the guy is giving the comparison! I think you missed the part about price!
Kyle, thanks for your top 10 considerations for post frame construction, as I am am currently considering start of post frame construction in September
They manufacture this insulation in Madison, Maine. I drive by the plant going to and from camp. They tell me it’s positioned as a direct competitor to Rockwool, and a little bit cheaper than Rockwool here in Maine. My interests are rodent deterrent and insulation value. From all that I’ve researched, Timber HP sprays a chemical on their products to repel rodents. Rockwool is rodent proof. Rockwool is also waterproof, I don’t know about Timber HP. I really want to buy local and support Mainers, but I think Rockwool still wins this competition.
Having the Majrex there creates quite the false sense of security. Imagine that it wasn’t there, you would move far less nibble over the beams in the attic. 😅
Kyle, on a side note of insulation have you read that the banks in the UK will not mortgage a house that has sprayed in insulation? They claim is rots the wood and is unsafe, especially against roof joists or trusses.
Should have thrown down a 2x6 walkway down the middle, down the road any contractor in the roof space is going to have a nightmare exposing somewhere to walk and then will probably compress the fill putting it back in place reducing your R value.
Completely agree with this comment, when I built my shop I installed a 2x4 (smaller width building) 18" to the bottom of the 2x4 from the bottom of the truss and then installed a 5/8" OSB "crawlway" down the length of the building, 4' wide. I attached the 2x's to the trusses while they were still on the ground, then we added the OSB as the trusses were lifted in. Made the insulation guys job easier and safer, plus any future need up there will not need to disturb the insulation to get where you need to go up there. Very surprised that RR didn't do something similar, if not more elaborate😂 Anyways, have a good one!!👍
@@taylarcameron4909 If you ever needed or wanted to run electrical or something else from one end to the other, add additional lighting, or you add on to an end of the building and you need to extend wiring. Lots of different reasons possible, though not the end of the world, it could provide a very convenient access and passage for the future, especially since RR is going to cover the entire inside surface of that space (the ground floor area) with metal panels. Would also be extremely helpful and convenient if you had some roof issue where you may want to inspect it from inside the attic (a roof leak in the future....). With the 4 foot truss spacing and 19" of insulation, there is really no going back up there in the future without causing a big mess (yes, a small walkway could still be added but it would much more effort to do it after the fact). Sheesh that was a long response, apologies for that. This is all just my opinion, not to say it is right for everybody, anyways, have a good one!!👍
@@stephenlehr6020 Thats exactly what I was thinking. Especially when it's his own building/showroom, and being it's a commercial space the chances for electrical changes and upgrades are really high. I see it a lot of this these days where additional work at the time is omitted to reduce time and cost in all trades. To be honest I think if you said to him "what about a walkway" he'd say yeah should have done it, I had my TH-cam brain on not my Builder brain, he's no idiot.
I think you could spray something up there to mitigate the bugs and the mice, our just put in some kind of flashing light that would annoy them, or some hip-hop-music.
If worried about fire. Need to go native timber. The gusset plates holding your trusses will fail before fd arrives. Your joists will fail as they make entry. As a fireman not worried about insulation. As test light 2x4 pine and oak at same time. What lights faster and what burns longer
From the manufacture TimberHP: The ingredients for the best attic insulation solution are simple. We mill pure softwood chips leftover from sustainable Maine forest management and lumber production into strong, soft fibers and mix in borate to give added protection against fire, mold, and insects, creating loose-fill and dense-pack insulation assemblies proven to regulate temperatures and humidity in even the toughest climates. Wood insulation has long history of positive results in Europe.
It would sort of be “wasted” cost, but I would want to add extra girts along the bottom of the trusses. Added safety to have steps every 16-24 inches, and if it’s tight enough a person would catch instead of going through if they fell on the majrex. Also follow-on use as support to further distribute the load of the insulation.
Sorry for jinxing you @rrbuildings , my heart sank watching the next video. But like the amazing problem solver you are, you powered through and used it as a learning opportunity to share with the world.
Mate, please use fall protection when up in that attic! One tiny loss of balance and you or your son are dead. That Majrex surely won't hold any weight.
Hard to believe it will not settle, like cellulose. Losing R-value. I will probably stick with mineral wool. No settling, no bugs, no moisture, no fire... no problem.
The wood fibers are much more robust than cellulose, which has been compressed into thin paper before being re-constituted into insulation. TimberHP’s long, soft fibers interlock and prevent settling.
Amazing how relatively easy it is to walk around on a couple of boards 25' above a concrete floor just because the plastic liner "floor" makes you feel like you're not that high up😮💨
Being coal power plants are being shut down, the insulation and drywall industries are scrambling to find products to replace flyash and char as fillers. This is a very suitable replacement
Ok, heres my two cents. First, all the environmentalists are against all tree cutting. More saw mills have closed. Lumber prices are high. The remaining mills will fugure out what you are using the scrap for, and when they slow down on lumber sales, the price for scrap lumber will go up. Then this great new product is too expensive to make sense using. I will still stick to my guns and say build smaller with fewer restrictions inside to equal the air flow, and you can build a house with way less cost. Also less windows and basic size doors. Every time you put a hole in a wall, you need to put something in that hole. Most people and builders will spend thousands on a fancy bath and kitchen and put the cheapest windows and doors in the house. See it all the time. This is just my opinion from building my way, and it costs very little to heat and cool, and the build cost was way less.
That kid is going to be on a site one day and some guy is going to talk him into some dangerous shit because he doesn't know any better because his uncle was cool with him doing sketchy stuff.
OK so what's the difference between Rockwool and Wood Fiber Insulation in terms of R value or comfort level if I'm saying this correctly? On a previous job, you put Rockwool in your ceiling. Why didn't you use Rockwool in your ceiling this time? Also, what's the difference in R value between Rockwool and polystyrene closed cell ridged foam board? Yes, I know that it takes longer to install but other than that, why don't you use polystyrene closed cell ridged foam board? Out of all the insulation products that you've used, I like the Rockwool best because it's a great product and easy to install. I do however really like the polystyrene closed cell ridged foam board product as well but it's very time consuming to install it. Between Rockwool and polystyrene closed cell ridged foam board, what are the differences? Thanks!
I saw y'all putting weight on that Siga material at some points in the vid. Is it that strong? I'd sure be afraid of it tearing and me falling through! [edit] I just looked again and it appears you're standing on the battens on the ceiling side...
so im about halfway through, so maybe this question will be answered, but is it safe to have saw dust in y9our ceiling, i mean a small short from a light could cause a big flame, like yes i know the whole structure is wood, but realistically a small spark wont cause anything
Is it treated against fire? Otherwise it will burn good in case of a fire. That's usuall what rockwool or glass fiber is better to use due to fire resistance.
not true at all. I didn't want to lay batts due to the labor involved and rockwool doesn't have a blown option yet...so I looked into other options and gave this a try. Where better to try new products then my own projects instead of a clients

he answered this above...he didn't want to do batts because fo the labor and rockwool doesn't currently have a blow in option.
👍✌
I saw y'all putting weight on that Siga material at some points in the vid. Is it that strong? I'd sure be afraid of it tearing and me falling through!
[edit] I just looked again and it appears you're standing on the battens on the ceiling side...
There is more money in siga in the opening of this video than my house is worth
The foreshadowing of disaster 😂
I couldn’t watch you guys working up here 😬
Sketch
Spray foam will burn like that. This seems to be safer than spray foam
so im about halfway through, so maybe this question will be answered, but is it safe to have saw dust in y9our ceiling, i mean a small short from a light could cause a big flame, like yes i know the whole structure is wood, but realistically a small spark wont cause anything
Oh come on! You didn't show where the tape gave way and a bunch fell out of the attic!
R60? Wow.
Talking about cost, just looked up the prices and holy crap it’s kind of expensive vs Rockwool.
👍👌
Can it be installed on top of regular cellulose insulation?
As long as there isn’t any issues with the cellulose you sure can.
man i hope that plastic holds up. That would suck if all that insulation comes down
It looks like you were in a wood shop cutting wood all day
We have blown fiberglass in my home. Can this be applied over the top of the fiberglass?
i'm sure you already said why, but why not spray foam the roof? probably price, but so much cleaner.
I would think a respirator would be in better if you are blowing that much particulate for 4+ hours
also the dude that was loading the machine and not wearing anything at all
I would be skeptical of firewater happens if it gets wet
Is it treated against fire? Otherwise it will burn good in case of a fire. That's usuall what rockwool or glass fiber is better to use due to fire resistance.
If you watch the video it has the same 2 hour rating as rockwool or mineral
@@glossyfpv1155 Oh cool. Well I guess I was to quick then asking 😁
My misstake. Only seen half
@@dogglas7996 he discusses it towards the end. Talks about pest,mold, and fire resistance.
I havent finished watching but all I can think about is wood insulation is the reason the city of oshkosh burned down in wisconisn in the 1800's
So when a pile of saw dust gets wet, how long does it take to dry....
What is holding all the weight up? Just the tape?
Would this product be more beneficial as wall insulation vs. the method that your used on RR2 ?
One day the best insulation is rockwool, now it's wood fiber. I guess it depends on who's paying for it.
not true at all. I didn't want to lay batts due to the labor involved and rockwool doesn't have a blown option yet...so I looked into other options and gave this a try. Where better to try new products then my own projects instead of a clients
