Spray Foam Insulation
Maintaining energy efficiency around your house is an important factor to enjoying a comfortable home. In order to achieve this, homes must be properly insulated. Rim Joists are often the least insulated part of the home. With only siding and an inch and a half of wood separating our living spaces from the outside world, rim joists are the largest source of energy transfer in modern houses. Because of the many components converging at the rim joist, there is a great potential for cracks and openings to be overlooked with traditional fiberglass insulation which is why spray foam insulation is growing in popularity.
