Provide Moisture Control and Insulation in Wall Systems
EFFECTIVE WALL INSULATION
Properly sealed, moisture-protected, and insulated walls help
increase comfort, reduce noise, and save on energy costs. However,
walls are the most complex component of the building envelope
to insulate, air seal, and control moisture.
The keys to an effective wall are:
• Airtight construction—all air leaks sealed in the
wall during construction and prior to insulation installation.
• Moisture control—exterior rain drainage system,
continuous air barrier, and vapor barrier located on the appropriate
side of the wall.
• Complete insulation coverage—advanced framing to
maximize insulation coverage and reduce thermal bridging, no gaps
or compressed insulation, and continuous insulated sheathing.
