Insulting cavities well is immensely labor intensive and unfortunately is still required in homes with exterior insulation so you're kind of getting the worst of both worlds. Exterior insulation is an absolute breeze in comparison though, there are tons of product on the market that integrate the sheathing and insulation into a single unit so it installs just like any other exterior sheathing would.
- amluto 4y agoI watched a crew install a blown fiberglass product: they stapled fabric over the walls, poked holes in it, and stuck a hose in each hole so a machine in their truck could flow fiberglass into the cavity. It went very quickly and fully filled the cavities. John Mansville Spider Plus looks like another interesting product — blown fiberglass that is just sticky enough that it can supposedly be applied to walls and even ceilings without anything to contain it.
