I have to unload this knowledge! A little known insulation material is simple "bubble wrap" package padding, the half-inch thick and one-inch diameter bubble version. It is sold wholesale in huge four-foot wide rolls, and in large factory orders is very inexpensive! It is a sheet of DEAD AIR, nearly perfect insulation because there is no air circulation or convection within itself, (tested fact.) A little spray-on adhesive at the top will suspend a sheet of it without fasteners because it is so light. Several layers can be added together for remarkable R-value. It can simply be draped over ducts to vastly improve insulation. It is its own vapor barrier, which can be taped to other sheets of itself. No, it is not fireproof or "natural" but very useful for non-inhabited structures. It is in dumpsters EVERYWHERE, tossed out after first padding use, and vast volumes can be salvaged for re-use as free insulation for utility buildings. It can be ordered in WHITE, but is usually clear stock, and so passes daylight for cold-weather greenhouse use. Someday perhaps it will be made from recycled plastic, containing CO2 inside itself, which will make it fireproof, and will "sequester waste carbon" from the atmosphere? Pass the word.....................elsullo
If your looking for 100% natural products, make sure to look at the fine print. Just because "they" say its eco-friendly and such words, it does not for a second mean it is. Look for words like binding agent, glues, adhesive and so on, toxic polymers they hide in nicer sounding words.
Fascinating. I have a lean to with no attic, but the ceiling needs insulation. What do I use? Rockwool would be perfect with an aluminum facing. But so might some of the products you showed on the video.
Can anyone suggest which fire resistant product would be best in the Southwest desert, USA? And also what would be the 3 least expensive of these options?
what about asthmatics and others who are very allergic to ANY WOOL like sheep wool? CORK....growing in USA Some much more expensive due to shipping??? Magnesium boards are very heavy, fragile, difficult to work with and EXPENSIVE. So the insulation foam...comparison???

Salute to a company who is stil trying to make their customers happy!
The more I watch your videos, the more impressed I am with this channel. Amazing content and very well presented. Thanks.
Thank you sir! Yes these videos take quite some time to research and make.

How long might it hold the bubbles???
I love the last part. Great idea
That same horrible stuff that comes wrapped around your packages you get in the mail that needs to be popped before it can be recycled?
Multi-pane windows use non-oxygen/air gases to avoid convection or conduction of heat. Using something other than air would also reduce flammability.

Suggestions?
Thanks, wouldn't have thought of it ... too naive. 😂. I'll be looking out for those details.
Excellent informative and entertaining video with excellent narration! Thanks!
I like the denim insulation and Hemp wool
Hey, thank you so much for making and uploading this video!! Quick and simple to watch and loads of info to consider for a newbie on this topic!
Hemp wool looks interesting.
Denim insulation sounds like it can remove CO2 emissions (carbon negative).
Fascinating. I have a lean to with no attic, but the ceiling needs insulation. What do I use? Rockwool would be perfect with an aluminum facing. But so might some of the products you showed on the video.
Excellent stuff bro
is a very effective space and highly efficient type of insulation
I like the cork one. Gonna use that.
Awesome 👌
Wow, keep up the good work 🙏❤️
Why did not you mention a cellulose? It's very cheap insulation not very "eco", but this is real alternative.
Can anyone suggest which fire resistant product would be best in the Southwest desert, USA? And also what would be the 3 least expensive of these options?
Wondering if any of these insulators would work in a high heat situation, like insulating around a stove?
Rockwool
GROOVY!
8:00 light concrete. Why the plywood ? Just let it be the wall same as last product
Amazing materials...how can you supply us?..

Don't use those products. Use the denim or maybe whipped organic topping.
Ever work with sheep wool insulation? Smells like a barn.
Rodents will love hemp wall :)
Does it have thermal drift?
I actually have my walls insulated with multipor.
Idk if I am the first but god knew this before earth was made.

@@Mark-gg6iy interesting opinion, as long as its recognized as such 🙂
@@Mark-gg6iy That quote won't be of much help at the judgement.

that jeans thing sounds toxic
Hempwool??? If it was made from wheat, no would care.
