Home Insulation Photo Album: Rim Joist Insulation in Hurley, MN
DBS recently completed a whole-home rim joist insulation project in Duluth, MN, providing a comprehensive solution for improved energy efficiency. The project utilized TruSoft Cellulose, a high-performance insulation material that creates a dense, tightly packed barrier to reduce air leaks and improve thermal performance. Initially, the homeowner considered insulating specific areas, including hard-to-reach rim joists, but after discussing the benefits, they decided to move forward with the full home dense packing option. This approach ensures a tighter, more energy-efficient home, addressing drafts and improving comfort throughout the entire space.
