Your Blown Insulation Strategy SUCKS - DO THIS INSTEAD

In this high-performance New England home, Matt Risinger and Steve Baczek showcase cutting-edge insulation and air sealing strategies. Key features include carbon-positive wood fiber insulation, ZIP-R9 sheathing for airtightness and vapor control, and a continuous air barrier using SIGA Majvest. A smart blend of materials like closed-cell spray foam and blown-in insulation ensures optimal thermal performance. Innovations like double-stud acoustic walls, ceiling strapping for wiring, and ductwork within conditioned space demonstrate exceptional attention to detail. With triple-pane windows, rain screen siding, and cold-climate heat pumps, this home blends traditional aesthetics with modern building science for maximum comfort and efficiency.
