Re-siding of an existing home presents an excellent opportunity to install continuous rigid insulation over the walls while the old siding is pulled off and before the new siding is installed.

Many home walls have inadequate insulation resulting in excessive heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Adding wall insulation can significantly address this home performance challenge. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. Use this checklist to get the significant energy savings and enhanced comfort benefits possible with quality installed framed wall insulation.

Many home walls have inadequate insulation resulting in excessive heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Adding wall insulation can significantly address this home performance challenge. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. In particular, the traditional exterior “drill and fill” approach will not work with masonry brick or concrete walls. Use this checklist to get the significant energy savings and enhanced comfort benefits possible with quality installed masonry wall insulation.

Many home basements do not have adequate wall insulation resulting in excessive heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer along with seasonally cold surface temperatures that can compromise comfort and moisture control. Adding basement insulation can significantly address these home performance challenges. However, critical installation best practices need to be followed to ensure a successful project. Use this checklist to get the significant energy savings, enhanced comfort, and durability benefits possible with quality installed basement wall insulation.
