Unsealed Top Plates
With unsealed exterior top plates, heat will escape through the edges of the roof. This not only leads to heat loss, it also puts the home at risk for an ice dam.
Basement Rim Joists
Unsealed and uninsulated basement rim joists allow heating and cooling to easily escape. Sealing and insullating with spray foam is ideal.
Knee Wall
Knee walls should be insulated and air sealed. Without proper air barriers, fiberglass batts will not properly hold heat in the home. An uncovered Knee wall is an open passage for heat transfer
