An often overlooked, but critical to sealing a building’s envelope, is rim joist insulation.
In the framing of a deck or floor system, a rim joist is attached perpendicular to the joists, and provides lateral support for the ends of the joists while capping off the end of the floor or deck system.
This is an important area to insulate to seal out moisture, prevent pest entry, and reduce drafts.
With professionally installed rim joist insulation, homeowners can improve their home’s level of energy efficiency and comfort in an affordable manner. In any home, a rim joist is part of the structure of a floor, which works to provide support for the joists themselves. Found around a floor’s exterior edges, it is important that homeowners air seal and insulate their rim joists to prevent unwanted energy loss or drafts. Most often, older homes are able to benefit the most from insulation and air sealing upgrades, however rim joist insulation is absolutely worth it for a home of any age.
If you have an older home, or an unfinished basement, consider having spray foam insulation installed to improve the energy efficiency of your home and seal the building envelope.
