Beneficial or fruitless efforts ?
I have a den that is ungodly cold, it has 2 windows and a brand new slider (installed this summer). I had some extra R-30 unfaced and in the process of pulling window molding and stuffing insulation in the space between studs and window frame, there was pretty much nothing there, jus a void. Opinions ? *yes, I realize im asking after the fact, jus curious as to thoughts on this. |
I used the "foam in a can" made for the purpose (minimal expansion). It seals things up beautifully and is necessary, IMO, as a huge amount of heat is lost around windows and doors. Put it in, let it cure, trim as needed with a fillet knife, then put the trim up. Cheap, easy, and VERY effective.

Naw , these are modern, double pane windows.
I have the electrical panel in that same room, going to pull the cover off and see whats around the edges as well. I already pulled baseboards and spray foamed between wall and floor, but think im going to go under the house and run some R-30 along the wall/floor. *edit - update* Pulled electric panel cover off, i stuffed an insane amount of insulation all around the panel, I didnt think it was going to end, lol. I also had some stick-on weatherstripping and put that around the panel cover, so Ill get a good seal from the panel to the wall. So , hopefully all these lil things help. |
