    Cardboard is well known to posses insulating qualities. It is a cost-effective way of insulating heat and protecting against wind. Multiple layers of cardboard or a single layer thicker than a half inch will provide substantial insulation. In addition, cardboard can insulate from sound and vibrations.

    On the Other: Cardboard Can Easily Become Wet

    Unless the particular cardboard you are using is coated with plastic or UV coated paper, it will not withstand much moisture. At some point this will become a problem, since the cardboard will either tear, begin to rot or both.

    Bottom Line

    The decision whether to use cardboard for insulation will depend on the type of cardboard and where it will be placed. The main concern is preventing cardboard from becoming wet. If the application doesn't involve water, or if the cardboard is shielded from water, it will be a cost-effective insulator against the elements.
