Insulation is one of the key components needed to successfully build an energy efficient, comfortable, and durable home. Proper insulation and airsealing contribute significantly to the comfort of the interior environment, energy efficiency, and moisture control in a home. If the insulation system does not consider airsealing, or is installed incorrectly, performance issues can result.

Best practices in insulation and airsealing must follow a carefully considered plan in the design and planning stages and carried through to the field. The result is greater homeowner satisfaction, which reduces callback and warranty expenses and increases referrals.
