Fabufill Lite – Low Cost Housing
Used in LOW-COST HOUSING projects. NOT RECOMMENDED for residential and commercial buildings. Very low R-values and densities. Some of the fly by night installers use the Fabufill lite product and charge you for the Premium product.
Some also recommend installing 3 x 50mm layers of Fabufill Lite to get 150mm but the density is EXTREMELY low at 6kgs which does not compete with a single layer of the 145mm Premium product. Hence the lower price.
3 x layers of 50mm is still only 6kgs. It does not stack.
