Loose Fill Insulation
A loose fill insulation called Thermacube is new from Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp.
The product claims a number of advantages over standard blown insulation including 6090 more coverage per bag than the firm's standard blown wool due to an advanced manufacturing process that makes it more resilient than standard wool.

Other advantages are said to be superior dust control, a poly bag package and package graphics. The product also reportedly does not settle when installed properly, therefore retaining its R-value. It will not burn, resists fungus, mold vermin and the absorption of moisture. It is non<orrosive.
