Weight Pockets
Weight Pockets
Best way to insulate weight pockets? I've heard prices from $25-50 per window using batt. Was quoted flat $1600 fee to insulate 14 windows with low expansion foam. Does anyone use cellulose or anything else that is blown in? I'm assuming the foam is the most efficient, but can't see myself paying $115 per window to pay for it...

Meh. I would just use the batts and make sure the window is sealed to the window frame. The reality is that you are only impacting the air tightness in that one stud bay and I have seen foam continue to cure and ooze after installation in the case of large void spaces.

100%, go with the batt insulation.
