This customer had a concern of cold floors. Cold floors can be a direct result of the rim joist not being insulated properly. A rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the outside of the house. The joints and gaps between the framing allows cool and warm air to flow from outside and in to the crawl space. This results in cool floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms and higher utility costs. To solve this common problem, Triple H will install spray foam over the rim joist to prevent future air leakage. The expanding foam seals all gaps and cracks. This will result in warmer floors, less drafts and more comfortable rooms. Don't forget the energy savings too!
Triple H went to this home in Centereach, NY to update the home's insulation. Part of the project was insulating the rim joist. Poorly insulated rim joists lead to cold floors, drafts, and an uncomfortable home. Triple H used a two-part expanding spray foam on the rim joists and over sill plates to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. With this area insulated and all the gaps and air leaks sealed, this home should have warmer floors and over all a more comfortable house.
The Triple H Install Crew added 10" of new blown in cellulose insulation to this attic space after air sealing all the leaks to get this attic to an optimum R-value of R49 to help the home stay more comfortable and energy efficient.
