DIY Spray Foam Insulation To Lower Energy Bill

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The project begins with an introduction to the A-frame cabin construction, highlighting its unique structure without a traditional attic, which poses challenges for insulation. The importance of R-value (heat thermal resistance) is explained, noting typical recommendations for cold climates (R13-R23 for walls, R30-R49 for attics/ceilings). Given the A-frame's direct roofline, the goal is to achieve an R-value of R49, aiming for the highest possible efficiency.

Goal: The video introduces the project of insulating an A-frame cabin, emphasizing the importance of high R-values for heating efficiency in cold climates, and sets a target R-value of R49 for the cabin's insulation.

energy costs can SAR through the roof when it comes to heating your home in cold climates like this and it can be especially complicated when you have an abnormal structure like an A-frame that does not have an attic well today we're going to be insulating this almost 2,000t A-frame cabin with the most highest efficiency we can let's get started all right uh Googling average home R value R value stands for heat thermal resistance essentially how well does that actually keep the heat in and not allow anything to kind of seep in in cold climates the recommended R value is r13 through R23 in mild climat a lower r value may be sufficient attics and ceilings that's something we don't have as an attic common R values are 30 38 and 49 well that's if we have an attic we don't have an attic but we're going to have a ceiling so let's shoot for the moon and get an R value of 49 let's get
