Cut-away view showing unsealed gaps around a heating duct that goes through a wall
Right – Joists between floors are air sealed to the ceiling drywall with canned spray foam along each joist-to-drywall-seam.
Right – Spray foam insulates the walls and ceilings separating the garage from the home.
Right-- IR photo shows how effectively spray foam insulated/air sealed attic kneewall and the floor cavities under kneewall
Rigid foam insulating sheathing installed over an existing garage ceiling with retrofits to air seal exterior wall before adding exterior wall insulating sheathing
Rigid foam insulating sheathing is installed on existing garage ceiling and covered with a new gypsum board fire protection layer installed over the foam.
Spray foam insulates and air-seals the ceiling deck and top plates of this vented attic.
Spray foam insulates the top plates and air seals them to the ventilation baffles before ceiling drywall is installed.
Spray foam insulation used for raised ceiling duct chase
The attic kneewall and the open floor cavities under kneewall are both sealed and insulated in one step with spray foam insulation
The original corner seam is air-sealed with caulk, then rigid foam is installed on the existing garage ceiling and walls, and finally covered with drywall.
This builder applied an air-sealing layer of spray foam along the underside of the roof deck and the inside of the walls before filling the wall cavities with blown cellulose.
This kneewall has no top plate and the resulting gap provides a wide-open pathway for air and vapor to travel between the living space and the attic
Wrong - Batt insulation does not provide complete coverage across the attic floor so ceiling joists are exposed resulting in thermal bridging.
