Find It. Fill It. Forget It.

Next week we'll be doing the spray foam insulation. One of the best traits of spray foam insulation is its ability to find and fill gaps where conditioned air can leak out. It's impossible to find all of the air leaks and fill them with traditional batting insulation. That's why we use spray foam.

Below is a picture of a house we built a couple of years ago. True to its nature the spray foam expanded to seal some infiltration points that would have been impossible to find and fill with batting.

This is simple to clean up but it illustrates how superior spray foam is to other methods of insulating. Spray Foam is one of the most important ways that we get to 0.6 Air changes per hour.

It's choices like this, our insulated and mechanically vented crawl space, our sealed HVAC ductwork and others and that make our homes more energy efficient and more comfortable to live in.
