Stud Finding Question #10

An exterior wall (see the red lines in the illustration) is usually constructed differently than its interior counterparts. This introduces several unexpected variables that will impact the sensitivity of your StudSensor™ stud finder.

• Blown insulation: As the density of insulation within a wall is inconsistent, the varied readings will negatively affect your tool's ability to deliver accurate results.
  
  
• Foil-wrapped insulation: Your StudSensor™ device works by sending out an electric pulse to determine surface density. Metallic foil disrupts this process.
  
  
• Soundproofing: A combination of inconsistent density and metallic components causes most soundproofing techniques to defeat the technology in your StudSensor™ tool.
