Effective Insulation is Two Parts Most insulation (with the exception of spray foam and rigid foam board) does not stop air flow. The most cost effective insulation solutions for a house in Clarksville/ Highland Maryland requires a separate air barrier or "skin" to stop the flow of air. For the air barrier itself to be effective, it must be contiguous and continuous across the entire building envelope, with all holes and cracks fully sealed, and it must be perfectly aligned with the insulation. As a general rule, warm air moves towards cold air. Insulation slows the movement of the heat way down when the thickness is at R-49. Air sealing keeps humidity out of the home in the summer, particuarly in the basement areas. Air sealing also acts as another line of defense against heat from the attic. |  Air Sealing & Insulation Go Hand in Hand for Comfortable Homes in Clarksville/Highland, MD |
