Default Mooney Wall Construction Method


'Mooney Wall' is a very good way to construct or upgrade an exterior wall to have superior insulation.

Reduces thermal bridging to almost zero.

Shown is using cellulose fiber fill, but could also use chopped fiberglass if you insist on lower R-value, higher cost & higher embodied energy & higher manufacturing CO2 emissions.
