Seamless Air Seal Insulation

Seamless Air Seal Insulation

If you’re tired of the spray foam insulation air you pay to heat and cool escaping through the walls of your home and outdoor air getting in, then a spray foam insulation and air sealing upgrade is a smart investment. RetroFoam dealers across the nation have been installing foam insulation in homes for over 35 years to create a true air barrier and cut down on those high energy bills.

But before you start laying down the foam, it’s important to understand the difference between insulating and air sealing. They’re two different things that work best when used together.

Spray Foam as a Moisture Barrier: Protecting Your Home From Mold

Insulation works like the down lining of your winter coat, helping to lock in warmth and coldness and blocking outside air from entering. But without an air seal, even the most thickly insulated house will still lose a significant amount of energy due to leakage. Air sealing fills in the nooks and crannies of your attic, crawl space, and rim joist so that your insulated attic becomes an effective thermal boundary.

The result: higher resale value and a more comfortable home. It also helps extend the lifespan of your HVAC system and reduces the need for costly repairs or replacements. And in some cases, a professionally installed insulation and air sealing project can qualify for utility rebates and incentives that can help offset the initial cost of your investment.

The best place to begin is the attic. Start by removing any old insulation and vacuuming the attic space to ensure it’s clean and free of moisture, allergens, and pollutants. Then, inspect and caulk the gaps around all attic penetrations (plumbing, wires, and ducts) and wall/floor penetrations (drill holes for electric boxes, vents, etc).
