what type insulation

user-6903959 | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

I’d appreciate some expert advice on the best type insulation for a wood framed house in Texas built in 1891. I’m condsidering polyurethane foam since I’ve stripped the walls down to the studs.

    Which part of Texas do you live? The Gulf coast or in a much dryer climate?
