If you’re upgrading your attic insulation in Barrie, don’t overlook air sealing. Many homeowners invest in insulation expecting big savings—only to feel disappointed when drafts and high energy bills persist. That’s because insulation slows heat transfer but doesn’t stop air leaks. At Ainger Insulation, we ensure both insulation and air sealing work together to deliver real results.
🔧 What Is Air Sealing and Why Does It Matter?
Air sealing involves closing up small cracks and gaps around plumbing vents, recessed lights, attic hatches, and chimneys—places where conditioned indoor air escapes and unfiltered outdoor air sneaks in.
Without sealing these gaps first, installing insulation is like wearing a winter jacket full of holes—it looks warm, but it won’t protect you properly.
🧊 Why Insulation Alone Isn’t Enough
While blown-in attic insulation is great for maintaining indoor temperatures, it doesn’t block air movement. That’s where sealing comes in. Combining both techniques helps:
- Stop cold drafts in winter
- Prevent hot spots in summer
- Keep out dust, pollen, and pollutants
- Reduce moisture buildup and mould risk
- Lower HVAC usage and energy bills
