It’s not unusual to encounter an older house with little or no insulation in the walls. The charm of an older home can quickly fade when your heating bills go sky high as the temperatures fall. Fortunately Handi-Flow is a product specifically designed for insulating closed cavities. Handi-Flow Pour In Place formula can allow you to enjoy the comfort and savings that only proper wall insulation can provide. These benefits can be achieved without tearing apart your walls, only a few small holes in each cavity space are required.

To calculate the number of kits needed to
do your job follow these guidelines.
Example: 16” (1.25 ft) wide and 9 ft tall between the wall
studs. Total area between the wall studs = 11.25 square feet. Multiply
the square footage of the wall cavity times the depth of the cavity
in inches. In our example the wall is constructed with 2 x 4’s
and the cavity depth is 3-1/2 inches. Multiply 11.25 S.F. x 3.5
as the cavity depth in inches and your board feet per cavity will
equal 39.38 board feet. If you calculate the number of wall cavities
you want to fill x the board feet per cavity you can determine the
number of kits you will need to finish your job. Our largest kit
the II-605 has 605 board feet capacity. This would enable you to
fill approximately 15 of the wall cavities described in the example
above. Please see this video for an illustration of how Handi-Flow Pour in Place will rise and fill an enclosed space such as a wall cavity.
