Save Energy: Side Wall Insulation
Problem:
- 25% of a homes side walls are made up of studs, electrical work, ducts and plumbing
- Cavity insulation will not affect these areas leaving 1/4 of your house uninsulated, this is called “thermal bridging”
- These areas also lead to air leakage/infiltration, in fact 35% of a homes total air leakage is attributed to exterior walls
Solution: Dow Styrofoam
- Reduces Thermal Bridging
- Reduces Convection Currents
- Reduces Air Leakage/Infiltration
- Provides Continuous Coverage
- Provides R-Value
- 1/4" = 1.0
- 1/2" = 2.8
- 3/4" = 3.8
- 1" = 5
