Air Sealing in Woodward, IA
Insulation slows heat moving through a material. It does nothing about air moving through a gap. That is why a house with a foot of attic insulation can still be drafty and expensive: the air is going around the insulation, not through it. Air sealing is caulk, foam, and gasket work at the leak points, and dollar for dollar it is the best money in the whole envelope.
InsulationWhat you get with air sealing.
This is the least visible thing we do and often the thing you feel most. It goes first, before any insulation gets added on top.
- Top plates, wire and pipe chases, and dropped soffits sealed
- Attic hatch weatherstripped and insulated — usually the biggest single leak
- Bath fans and can lights sealed and vented properly
- Rim joists foamed where they meet the sill
- Window and door seams sealed where they have opened up
The rest of the system.
Air sealing first, then blown-in, fiberglass, cellulose, or foam. Attics, walls, rim joists, and basements, taken to Iowa code and past it.
