Winter in International Falls, MN
Living in such a beautiful place has its perks, but keeping warm in the winter isn't always a given!
Before Photo International Falls, MN Attic
This attic had insulation but was not properly air sealed. A large gap in between insulation and building material is seen here.
Blown-In Insulation is Not Sufficient
To completely insulate the home, all cracks and spaces in the building materials so be completely air sealed.
Spray Foam to Seal and Insulate in International Falls, MN
Our closed-cell spray foam is really efficient at both air sealing and providing significant insulation.
Cellulose is Best
For blown-in insulation, we use cellulose. Made from recycled materials, it is dense and packs an R-value higher than fiberglass insulation.
TerraBlock™ Insulation
We used TerraBlock™ insulation to seal the attic access door, preventing air from escaping to the upper level.
Crawl Space Access
The internal access to the home's crawl space is seen here and was the next target for our team to properly seal the home.
International Falls, MN Crawl Space Before
This home's crawl space was partially encapsulated with fiberglass batting and a plastic moisture barrier.
Spray Foam to the rescue here, too!
Our team secured the plastic layer more effectively and then sealed the space.
Spray Foam Insulation Applied
Every crack and gap between the foundation and rim joists was sealed to prevent any air from entering the crawl space, preventing "stack effect."
Crawl Space Now Sealed Completely
Our production team was able to get to even the hardest-to-reach spaces in this crawl space, applying spray foam along the entire foundation.
