Continuous Insulation

Why Seasonal Insulation Matters in New England Living in Massachusetts means experiencing all four seasons to their fullest — freezing winters, humid summers, and unpredictable shoulder seasons. The insulation that protects your home from winter’s chill must also defend against summer’s heat. Yet most homes lose efficiency because their insulation was installed with a “one…

As sustainable building practices become more mainstream, deep energy retrofits are gaining popularity for their ability to dramatically improve home energy efficiency. A key component of these retrofits is sealing the building envelope to minimize heat transfer and energy loss. This involves using high-performance materials like rigid foam insulation, which not only improves energy efficiency…

Continuous insulation (CI) in the context of home building is a layer of insulation that is installed without any thermal breaks. This means that the insulation is continuous around the entire building envelope, including the walls, roof, and foundation. CI helps to reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, which…

Continuous insulation is a building design practice where a continuous layer of insulation material is applied around the exterior of a building’s envelope, often in conjunction with other insulation methods. Here are some of the pros and cons of using continuous insulation: Pros: Energy efficiency: Continuous insulation can significantly improve a building’s energy efficiency by…

Continuous insulation (CI) is a layer of insulation that covers the entire building envelope without any thermal bridges, such as studs, joists, or rafters. CI reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency, comfort, and durability of buildings. CI can be applied on the exterior or interior of walls, roofs, and floors, using different types of…
