NO – Insulmax® wall insulation is packed into the wall cavity and is about 50% denser than conventional fiberglass products. The packing of the product means that it is able to support its own weight, so that if small renovations are required in the future, like changing weatherboards or smaller areas of interior lining etc., Insulmax® will not fall out.
The below photo shows Insulmax® with wall linings removed during renovation. However it is advisable to cover the insulation with some form of building paper / mesh to protect the insulation form mechanical damage. This is particularly important if larger areas of wall are being removed or the insulation will be uncovered for an extended period.
