How to Begin Installing Wall Insulation?

The first and foremost thing to begin with wall insulation is ensuring the proper alignment of the layers of insulation. While the first layer should be facing against the drywall to prevent evaporation, the second layer should face away to prevent moisture retention.

Another aspect that determines the success of wall insulation installation is how the insulation batts are stapled. While stapling isn’t mandatory, it helps them stay in place by holding on to the framing joists.

Here are a few precautions you need to follow for safe and efficient DIY wall insulation:

Turn off the fuse box power before installation and ensure no one turns it on before completion by preferably placing a warning tag.
Make sure no electrical appliances are operating during the installation.

Step-By-Step Do-It-Yourself Wall Insulation

Here is a step-by-step do-it-yourself wall insulation guide:

Start from the underside of the top plate, preferably 75mm from the vertical stud.
Staple a string to the underside top plate and drop it to the top of the nogging. Run it towards yourself and turn it to the nogging underside. Staple it then.
Drop the string to the bottom plate and tension it. Then staple it.
