Nice Job, Chris!!! Impressive progress. Hats off to Pops. Pretty sure you're the first channel on the Tube to show this product actually being used!!!!! Great hook up!!!! Cutting edge. 👊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
Borate is what the forest services dump on wildfires by airplane to knock down the flames. Impressive that they have included that element into this product. I’m mid-home addition at the moment and am going to look into TimberBatts first our home in VT.
I had a feeling that was the new product you mentioned a couple videos back...I was curious about that stuff so I'm glad to see you used it...place is looking really nice
really interested in wood fiber. Great R-value, thermal mass, sound damping, healthy environment, good for the planet. Hope one day they could somehow integrate straw in it.
Love it! Im currently building an a-frame camp in coplin plantation, right next door to eustis. I was on the fence about TimberHP but you sold me on it! You think I'd be able to stack 2 rows for r44?
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Front Bumper for your Polaris Ranger XP1000( if your car is 2018-2023)
What's the benefit of Timber HP over dense pack cellulose? How did you insulate behind pipes and receptacle boxes? Seems like it would be a pain to fit well into tight spaces. Just curious. Looks like an awesome product for small jobs and DIYers.
They do have a dense pack and loose fill option. Outlet boxes are easy actually with the batting. Just cut out a square for it and slide it right in behind. Other places youu have to be a little more creative. I just took left over pieces and stuffed them in areas that needed it. Packed all my headers full of pieces etc. stuff cuts well to fit in any opening, but I used a lot of little chunks to fill cracks here and there
I love the idea of this product but I have a really hard time wrapping my head around it. Insulation is a big topic right now in residential design and construction. All the science always points to wood being a terrible insulator and tons of heat being lost through wall studs.
I’m not in the building industry but it seems like in its natural state like framing materials that would be accurate. The way this is constructed I have to believe it works like any other insulation. They have been using this product in Europe for years. I mean they used to sue wood shavings to store ice back in the day. I also noticed when we picked it up, the product was in the warm mill, was on our trailer for half hour maybe in 35-40 degree temps as we drove it to the cabin. When we unloaded it it was still warm inside the bundles. I will do a review after the first winter with it to see how it all works out.
@@mainetroutwhisperer would love to hear how well it works! I like the idea of the product but I'm really skeptical, I definitely can not bring myself to spec it in my projects yet.
Its a good question, glass is also a poor insulator and so is rock, the way insulation works is to trap air, So theres little fibers that stop the air moving (convection) and that means the heat has to conduct through tiny fibers and air. And that slows down the heat transfer. And this does that about as well as rockwool or fiberglass.
Can you tell me the cost? I'm sure I could call around during the day but if you give a ballpark of what you paid per sq foot it would be helful. Thanks
This stuff is junk, number one it is twice the price of Rockwool. Also it’s just some joke of a product to trying and help the woods industry in Maine. Still not convinced it’s any good.
Not sure where you got your prices from but It’s actually cheaper than Rockwool. As of today from a local lumber yard for 5.5” batts it’s $34.40 for 4 pack of Timber HP and $80.00 for 8 pack of Rockwool of same size.

Another cool fact is it leaves a negative carbon footprint, as outdoorsman that’s a great thing.
Yup! That’s the claim
Pretty cool to buy and use a local product like that
For sure !
Got a bunch of spoons and spinners this monday from ya, cant wait to use them up north this spring!! Rock on brotha camp is looking good!!
Thank you! Good luck .
Looks good! Now you gotta name the cabin! Lol

@@Dorchwoods yup, you’ll need an 11” cavity. Also, try overlapping the seams if you can.
@@mainetroutwhisperer yeah the a-frame kit I built has 11" LVL trusses, they're huge
@@Dorchwoods perfect!
What body of water is this on?
Looks interesting for sure! How about insects and rodents?
Cabin looking great
Borate that they treat it with repels the insects

I called a local lumber yard yesterday about the 5.5” stuff 16”oc. $34.40 per bundle of 4 for timberbatt. Rockwool was $80 per bundle of 8.
@@mainetroutwhisperer Thank you for the info. Much appreciated.

I’m a contractor and buy from my local yard up north and you can’t convince me to switch.
Wood fiber is a great insulation, and it’s cheaper. But that doesn’t matter to a contractor that passes the cost to the customer anyways…
Have you ever used it?
Ands What's wrong with helping the the forestry industry?
Do you even know what rock wool is? That's a product designed to help buffer the mining industry!!!!!
