According the U.S.. Department of Energy and its Energy Star program, an average home can lose 30-40% of its heat due to air leakage. Control air leakage requires control of several factors.
These factors include insulation materials that prevent air infiltration, such as open-cell spray foam insulation, calking framing joints, and sealing gaps around windows/doors. Arbor Insulation's spray foam product and energy seal option helps you create homes and buildings that well sealed against air leakage.
