I know that code requirements for blow-in insulation in Flagstaff is R44, which 
is around 15” thick using fiberglass.

[MBZ] OT insulation and windows

2022-03-07 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes
I totally agree about the windows. All of our expensive triple pane 
windows have broken seals and moisture in between the panes. It upsets 
my wife but I have been in no hurry to change them.


How much insulation do you have in the attic?

_All_ we did was double up the attic blown-in insulation.  Made a very
noticeable difference.  We use wood auxiliary heat, maybe 5 cords a year.
I've never paid a dime for any of it.  Free downed trees, or I cut off of our
acreage in a pinch.

I dislike sealed multipane windows, they're all ticking time bomb$.  For a
brief time you could get NON-sealed 2-pane windows.  They never fail.
Ours are Pella, but I was told, perhaps by somebody who doesn't really
know, that this was no longer possible.  There was only a percent or three
difference on the energy efficiency, but they're 'forever' windows.

You can't begin to imagine how much I loathe the 'subscription model' that
seems to be everywhere now.  Even for windows...
