Dense netted vs damp-spray cellulose

Carfar96 | Posted in Green Building Techniques on

We finally found two insulation contractors we trust (thank you for all of your advice!). One does damp spray and the other does dense netted. I like the dense netted contractor a bit more than the other contractor. However, I am worried about settling with his product. Can anyone share any experiences? He actually says dense netted is less likely than damp spray cellulose to settle, but I have heard the opposite. Thank you!!!!

    Carolyn,
    Properly installed, neither product will settle. With netting, the insulation will probably end up at a higher density, which is a good thing. You should go with the contractor you trust most.
