[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3230074, member: 14646"] Serious question. What does your wife know about spray foam insulation? Or did she only read "horror stories" from the internet? The reality is that spray foam can be the best insulation for home you will find. With any popular building trend, you will have any yahoo that happens to have a contractors license think he knows how to spray foam into walls and ceiling joists. Your job or the job of the general contractor is to make sure the spray foam installer is experienced, knows what he is doing and can effectively answer any and all questions and concerns you or your wife have on the product, installation, etc. On a new build I would never do a blown in insulation. Just doesn't make sense. Especially if you have to come back in a couple years and have it done again due to settling. If im building in OK I'm doing minimum 2x8 stud framing in the walls and oversized ceiling joists to create more R-value with thicker bat insulation if that is the route i'm going. Just make sure your insulation contractor is experienced and qualified no matter what product you choose. [/QUOTE]
