Our skilled and experienced team has the know-how to provide exceptional rim joist insulation that will help keep your home at a comfortable temperature throughout the year.

A common issue with rim joists is that gaps and cracks around the structure can allow for air leakage, which is the event of outside air entering your home.

What’s more, with rim joist insulation in place, you can reduce the stress on your HVAC system, and potentially lower your monthly energy expenses.

Rim Joist Insulation

The subfloor of your home is made up of a plywood frame and supportive joists.  Reinforcing the frame are perpendicular joists—referred to as rim joists—that function as additional lateral support.

A frequent issue with rim joists is that they can have gaps and cracks, which are key places where air leaking occurs—the event of unwanted air seeping into your home. And when it comes to rim joist insulation, the two most popular methods are air sealing and rigid foams boards.

Air Sealing

Crafted with a caulk and foam mixture, air sealing is an effective way to fill cracks and holes around your rim joists and prevent air leakage.

Rigid Foam

During the winter, rim joists can become cold and condensation can form. This may result in mold growth and rot. With rigid foam insulation, your rim joists will be protected from moisture and last for years to come.
