Knee walls that sit at the end of vaulted ceilings can be difficult to insulate. The hardest part is reaching them. Here are two ways you can speed up the process of installing fiberglass into a kneewall.
Use Tall Drywaller Stilts
Depending on your height, the height of the knee walls and the stilts you are using, this is the fastest way to install fiberglass into the knee walls. Before stilting up, use a long stick to push batts of fiberglass into the knee wall cavity. We prefer to cut the top angle before strapping on the stilts.
Use a Ladder Effectively
Running up and down a ladder is time-consuming and will raise the probability of an accident. Again, use a long stick to push batts of fiberglass into the knee wall. Also, cut the top angle before using the ladder. Position your ladder at the cavity between two others. You should be able to insulate three knee wall cavities without descending the ladder.
