    Default What kind of insulation is this

    This is insulation installed on a cathedral ceiling built in 1957. Can any one identify what it is and is it safe.

    Jory,

    That is a Tectum panel. It's a deck substrate.

    That is Tectum roof sheathing which served as thermal insulation, roof sheathing, and acoustical insulation all in one.

    Rare to find it in houses, but I have a few times.
