Insulation can mean many things to different trade contractors—drywallers, steel framers, plasterers, and ceiling contractors alike. By definition, the most common types of materials used for loose-fill insulation include cellulose, fiberglass, and mineral (rock or slag) wool. All of these materials are produced using recycled waste materials. Cellulose is primarily made from recycled newsprint. Most fiberglass products contain 40 percent to 60 percent recycled glass. So, this is a standard definition.
However, I’m going to take a different track and boldly present insulation as a concept to protect your projects from overruns, high costs, and losing profitability. But how do you do this?
