Tips for Flat Pack Home Success
Flat pack homes have recently seen a huge surge in popularity, becoming arguably the most prevalent new building process around the world. The outstanding value for money and impressive green credentials of house flat packs make them a perfect choice for an era that is more frugal when it comes to both money and energy. Here, leading manufacturer and retailer of the very heart of flat packs - structural insulated panels - SIPs Direct (http://www.structuralinsulatedpanels.co.uk/) offers some tips to ensure your flat pack home project is a success.
Cost: a flat pack house can be as much as 25% less than a standard house, but as with any building project, cost is the cornerstone of successful construction. Loosen the reins on your budget and even the costs involved with building a bargain flat pack home can rise. Sit down at the very outset of the project and think of all the factors to be included in your budget: will there by an architect; multiple building companies (see tip three before you decide!); will you need to rent a property while it is being constructed? And remember that every budget should include an additional contingency allowance.
Back to basics: nothing will ensure success unless the very fabric of your flat pack house is of the highest quality. Not all flat packs are alike in terms of quality because not all structural insulated panels (the very core of flat pack houses) are alike. SIP Direct's composite panels are as strong as they are light; completely airtight and highly versatile. That level of quality makes for the most reliable and durable construction of flat pack homes possible.

How many bags of cellulose insulation will i need to insulate the exterior walls of my home.?
My house is approximately 30 foot by 30 foot and 1 1/2 story's. I'm trying to estimate the cost, so i can start setting money aside (I'm not paying another $1300 fuel bill again) I know that packs of cellulose insulation is about 8.88 at Lowes. I just want a rough estimate on how many packs I'll need.
Thanks
We had a contractor come in and put insulation in the crawl space, and the attic is insulated. We thought that the walls were insulated, but when we replaced a receptacle we found that there was NO insulation.
blow it into the attic, but have a company drill holes to blow it into your exterior walls.
heat rises, so do your attic first.
ok, get an infrared picture of the walls, before & after a company blows it in. do you have a vapor barrier?
