I have an older home that has no insulation in the outside walls. Can this be used to insulate inside the walls without ripping out all the plaster?

No it can not. They make an expanding open cell foam for inside walls. I believe more expensive but reviews are not good. The company admits it's sub par. I was looking into the same thing and went with dense pack cellulose. Best option for an existing wall. I used the foam on the rim joists and it worked great for that.

I have no experience on this. However, I do not think that the unit is for outdoor use. Please consult with the vendor. All the electrical stuffs are up on top of the unit; and the cover on top is not water or weather proof. I also do not know whether the walls will withstand the outdoor weather. Please note that there are units for outdoor use.

If you are trying to put it between walls, similar to between outside sheathing and inside wall covering (ie:between outside wall and inside sheetrook) it is not likely to work well as you need room to spray it. I does not work like expanding foam. It give off a lot of fumes when sprayed.

no, but the idea is good, this is more liquid goo than it is insulation. a pro company with open wall yes. best bet is to use sound deading drywall over what you have on wall now. stops it all normaly

It would depend on the area you live in because of ambient conditions. If freezing is a concern, then absolutely not without some sort of conditioning; I would not trust insulation alone. There are no electrical parts on it, but even if freezing is not a concern, I would still recommend finding a way to protect it from the elements, especially direct sunlight; I would expect the UV to cause damage to the unit over time.

My walls are 2x4 construction which is typical home construction in my area and it works fine. My wall was insulated so I had to move the insulation over to make it easier to install

The board does not get hot so it can just be a few inches, but check with.the manufacturer to be sure. however, i would just replace that window and put insulation inside the wall.

No, I wouldn't think so. It is similar to the material that a child's Little Tike's Playhouse is made of - it snaps together. I don't see how you would add insulation. I suggest the igloo style dog houses if you need something heavier and more durable.

We did not install over existing insulation. We used this in the upstairs of our house that is just being finished. Yes, we overlapped strips where needed by about 2" just with staples.

It could help, I've used mine in a small green house I made to help keep the soil temperature up, it does not keep too much moisture it stays dry enough to grow in. I'm sure this would work another option is call a vapor barrier that would help water proofing with out the insulation it is often used in home and basements to keep mold from growing. Hope this helps.

Depends on the source. If it's lack of insulation in a wall, then yes. If the source is a leak to the outside, then not as likely. I have found inside walls that "telegraph" the cold from the attic to the lower levels. This BD unit will highlight (with ease) a cold wall. If you find a wall that is telegraphing the cold from above, then the wall needs to be blocked from the attic side or perhaps filled with cellulose. Let me know if this helps!

I would think so. It's pretty tough stuff. Not sure how well it would insulate. Hope that helps.

Hardware stores sell kits of very thin foam that's designed to put behind outlet plates on exterior walls to block cold air from coming in. This stuff is very manageable and easy to cut into shapes, and can be used as a barrier between the gate and the wall or doorway. They may not prevent all the damage, but certainly cut back on it.

Yes! I used it on our walls for extra insulation and dropped our heating bills quite a bit. It would be perfect for curtains.

I would not hesitate to do that, but I'd still use another insulator right than straw. Try three layers of cardboard.

No! Use a rock wool or ceramic fiber insulation for this job and others that require that require temps over 300 deg f

I don't know if I can be any help with this one as I used it on the interior wood stairs leading to our basement. I was under the impression that it should only be used indoors, not exposed to the weather.
