Insulation…Batting & Vapor Barrier wrap-up

The Lakewood Insulation guys are done with the fiberglass batting and vapor barrier installation at the “L” Shaped House. There are four parts to the process they use.

The insulation crew is purposely trying to seal the entire inside of the home against vapor penetration. They are careful and deliberate as they apply the foam and caulk and pay particular attention to the areas around the windows and doors. Once the sheetrock is installed the inside of the house will be sealed about as well as I can imagine. There will will be at least two more insulation applications at the house; the ceiling in the garage and attic will both be filled using a blown in product.
