Cathedral ceiling cons\"FIBER-LITEtruction is more susceptible to moisture damage than open attic construction.\u00a0 The construction of a cathedral ceiling creates air spaces in rafter cavities.\u00a0 Filling the cathedral ceiling with FIBER-LITE Cellulose Insulation is a very effective way to block the air movement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Application Procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dry Pack:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Construction of a barrier by using reinforced poly webbing (spray mesh) or sheetrock is required.\u00a0 FIBER-LITE Cellulose Insulation is applied by inserting the hose into the cavity starting at the top to about 12\u201d to 18\u201d from the soffit area.\u00a0 The material is blown into the cavity at a density of 3.0 lbs.\/ft.3<\/sup> or greater.\u00a0 As the material slows almost to a stop the hose is extracted and the procedure is repeated until the cavity is filled.\u00a0 We recommend the dry pack procedure for residential construction.<\/p>\n

Spray Applied:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The procedure is much the same as cavity spray for walls except a liquid adhesive must be used to retain the FIBER-LITE Cellulose Insulation in the cavity.\u00a0 Encotec 10X Adhesive is used with the following water to adhesive dilution ratios:<\/p>\n

6\u201d to 8\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0\u00a0 6 to 1<\/p>\n

8\u201d to 10\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 –\u00a0\u00a0 5 to 1<\/p>\n

10\u201d to 12\u201d\u00a0 –\u00a0\u00a0 4 to 1<\/p>\n

After the FIBER-LITE Cellulose insulation cures, the sheetrock may be installed.\u00a0 We recommend the spray application on metal roof systems.<\/p>\n

Scientific research has found the use of vent chutes is not necessary when cellulose insulation is properly installed.<\/p>\n
