Hi,
We’re considering different materials for attic insulation. One material weights approx. 500 kg , and another one only 200 kg. Is it safe to add such a load on the house’s wooden frame? Should we chose the lighter one even if its price is considerably higher?
Thanks!
That is the total weight of the material you are planning on spreading over the entire attic, correct? How many square feet is your attic? This will probably be a judgment call on your part without knowing or seeing the condition of your home’s structure. Obviously you want to get the best material you can afford, but sometimes that isn’t enough.
