Examples of New
House Being SUPERSEALED
Foam Behind All Electrical
Boxes................
Caulk
and seal between all headers, seams,and plates. Fill all blind
corners with either foam or cellulose. Block off air between eaves,
and vent chutes, so the wind goes through the vent chutes and into the
attic but DOES NOT blow the insulation away from the plate and start the
whole CONDENSATION AND BLACK MOLD
PROCESS.
Install
netting in ceiling and cantilever floor areas that have to be "tight
packed" with cellulose, because there is no side access to fill them with
a hose.
Start
spraying High Density Cellulose, it's not as easy as it looks! It is
half science and half art to be able to spray correctly.
Next, use the Scrubber to clean off the excess, and be flush
with the studs.
This area is ready for drywall!
Perfect
example of cellulose in a BONUS ROOM above a garage. We also sprayed
1" of foam over the vent chutes for air to pass up to the attic and still
have room to add a fiberglass batt.
Looks Great! Final R-value in knee wall is about R-13
and R-25 in 2x6 slope ceiling.
