Part 9/11:
Insulation Implementation: Handling Foam Boards and Studs
The homeowner detailed their method for installing rigid foam boards between studs. They used staplers to fix the foam, cutting them into strips and working carefully to avoid gaps. The importance of creating an effective thermal barrier was emphasized, especially around areas prone to drafts or heat loss.
They shared insights into different insulation techniques, including a novel method observed elsewhere, where insulation flaps are stapled inward to improve sealing—highlighting a willingness to innovate beyond conventional methods. Their primary goal is to achieve a tight seal that prevents cold air infiltration while maintaining easy access for wiring and future adjustments.
