Loose-fill insulation.
Measure the supplied internal cavity volume after deducting obstructions.
Read the right quantitative data
Specified installed density and mass per bag.
Check this ordering assumption
The density of loosely packed material in a bag is not necessarily installed density.
The tool does not choose installed density, settling allowance or performance requirements.

This illustrative set of supplied inputs demonstrates Insulation Fill Bags from Installed Density Calculator. Replace the example measurements and product figures with your own before ordering.
| Supplied input | Metric display | US display |
|---|---|---|
| Product installed density from your specification | 30 kg/m³ | 1.87 lb/ft³ |
| Net material mass per bag | 15 kg | 33.07 lb |
| Your additional material allowance | 0 % | 0 % |
| Fill zone 1: Measured zone area | 20 m² | 215.3 ft² |
| Fill zone 1: Specified filled depth | 200 mm | 7.87 in |
| Fill zone 1: Identical zones | 1 | 1 |
Insulation bags from supplied installed density: 8 bags
- Specified fill volume with allowance
- 4 m³
- Required material mass
- 120 kg
The installed density must be supplied for the selected product and application. Bag mass does not determine the appropriate installed density or thermal resistance.
