Title: Replace insulation Post by: half-wit on April 29, 2004, 02:05:02 pm What type of insulation should I use if I want to remove the old and put in new? Any things I should look out for or plan for or is it as easy as removing the plastic and replacing the old layer? It's a Vendo 90A. Thanks.
Title: Replace insulation Post by: on April 30, 2004, 12:33:39 pm Hello,
I am in the process of re-insulating a Vendo 63 I purchased off e-Bay and had wet insulation (thanks to a blocked drain) inside the cabinet. I removed the liner and had a new bottom pan fabricated. Now I am ready to insulate from scratch. I talked to several people - including Fun-Tronics - and they all advised unfaced Owens-Corning pink. I selected R-19, 6-inch thick unfaced, specifically. The higher R-numbers are so thick it would be difficult. I think, to squeeze it into the cabinet. The job is much easier if you remove the liner and that is not as horrifying as it sounds. If I have recommended the wrong stuff, I'm sure someone will let me/you know. Paul |
