Shortcomings Of lnsulation

A properly installed sealant package significantly reduces air infiltration and saves energy regardless of the type of insulation, according to a new study by Union Electric.

The results, said insulation installer Larry Staples, "put to rest the question of insulation and air infiltration. What's in the cavity of the wall or attic-fiberglass or cellulose-has no effect on the air infiltration barrier. Minimizing air infiltration is dependent on the sealant package, not the insulation. The purpose of insulation is to provide thermal performance."

The study, aimed at determining the effects ofdifferent types ofinsulation on air changes, operating costs and comfort level of a home, found that a properly installed sealant package can decrease air infiltration by more than 50Vo compared to a home without a sealant package.

A sealant package, which can include caulking and foam sealant, helps to prevent air and wind from penetrating through cracks, construction seams and openings in walls and ceilings.
