Batts v. Blown-in Round 2: Where to use Havelock Wool products?

Batts v. Blown-in Round 2: Where to use Havelock Wool products?

Blown-In and Batt Insulation

We wrote a piece back in the middle of the summer outlining the difference between blown-in and batt insulation.  A copy can be found here.  As ever we try to take and share a view that is devoid of bias; our goal is to help you make informed decisions.  The piece was well received and we enjoyed quite a bit of conversation on the back of the publication.  

What we did not speak to (intentionally) was the application differences between Havelock Wool batts and blown-in insulation.  To be fair we offer both products so as to ensure there is optionality for the end-user.  In other words, we are not here to convince you one is better than the other.  That said, we are frequently asked what makes the most sense for a given project.  We do indeed have an opinion and see nothing wrong with sharing it. 

So, here is our response to an increasingly frequent question:  If I am building or renovating a house, where should I consider Havelock Wool’s products?
