Sidewall Insulation
When re-insulating sidewalls in a home cellulose insulation is "dense packed"
to a
3 pound per foot density, giving you a higher R-value than fiberglass batts.

Dense packed cellulose is very effective at stopping air infiltration through walls. Dense
packing sidewalls provides your home with greater comfort by eliminating drafty walls,
increased energy efficiency and reduced moisture transfer to the wall cavity.
Stucco homes may also have sidewalls insulated by drilling through the stucco and
patching holes after the work is completed or from the interior walls.
