SOPRA-CELLULOSE Calculator AB

Use the appropriate calculation tool below depending on the type of application to determine how many bags of thermal insulating cellulose you will need to perform your insulation work.

Attic

ft² m²
m²K/W

{{ results.numBags }} Estimated number of bags needed

RSI value {{ results.rsi }} m²·K/W

Applied thickness {{ results.thickness_applied }} in

Settled thickness {{ results.thickness_settled }} in

Mass per unit area {{ results.mass_per_unit }} lb/ft²

Coverage per bag {{ results.coverage_per_bag }} ft²

{{ results.numBags }} Estimated number of bags needed

R value {{ results.r }}

Applied thickness {{ results.thickness_applied * 1000 }} mm

Settled thickness {{ results.thickness_settled * 1000 }} mm

Mass per unit area {{ results.mass_per_unit }} kg/m²

Coverage per bag {{ results.coverage_per_bag }} m²

This calculation indicates the minimum number of bags to use. The final result will vary according to the application technique, the equipment and the hose used. The thermal resistances presented in this chart are measured after settlement, according to ASTM C518 standard and ASTM C687 conditioning method. A 15% settlement rate for RSI 8,6 (R-49) and RSI 8,8 (R-50) and a 20% settlement rate for RSI 10,8 (R-61) was added.

Floor/Ceiling

ft² m²
in cm
lb/ft³ kg/m³

{{ results.numBags }} Estimated number of bags needed

R value {{ results.r_rsi_value }}

RSI value {{ results.r_rsi_value }} m²·K/W

This calculation indicates the minimum number of bags to use. The final result will vary according to the application technique, the equipment and the hose used. The minimum number of bags required takes into account the volume of the wood structure. For floors/ceilings with metal structure, additional bags may be required. Check with your representative for more information.

Wall

ft² m²
in mm
lb/ft³ kg/m³

{{ results.numBags }} Estimated number of bags needed

Volume of studs {{ results.volume_of_studs }}%

Mass per unit area {{ results.mass_per_unit }} lb/ft²

Mass per unit area {{ results.mass_per_unit }} kg/m²

R value {{ results.r_rsi_value }}

RSI value {{ results.r_rsi_value }} m²·K/W

Coverage per bag {{ results.coverage_per_bag }} ft²

Coverage per bag {{ results.coverage_per_bag }} m²

This chart indicates the minimum number of bags to use. The final result will vary according to the application technique, the equipment and the hose used. The minimum number of bags required takes into account the volume of the wood structure. For walls with metal structure, additional bags may be required. Check with your representative for more information.
