Porkchop,

Unless they glue every single fiber in the batting it will still settle, especially being driven down the road through road vibration. Those fibers that are glued, stay in place unless they break. Those held in place by friction against the other fibers will still move over time.

Aluminum IS a temperature conductor however the difference between the top cabinets and bottom is not the presence of aluminum in the roof but the settling of the batting in the walls.

Did they bother to explain who did their R value analysis? How do they take into account the effect of windows and doors in the wall R factor?
