Opening up the Wall

Bradley's crew opened this house wall from the outside, so that the residents could stay in place during the rehab and upgrade work.

Removing Sheathing

The crew stripped away the siding and sheathing, and removed the existing fiberglass batt insulation.

Spot Air-Sealing

Obvious cracks were sealed with gun foam, as were typical penetrations such as electrical box locations.

Reinsulating

The crew carefully fit Roxul mineral wool batts into the wall cavities.

Re-Sheathing

The crew re-sheathed the building with vapor-open structural sheet goods, taping the seams to establish a redundant airtight assembly.
