BIRD-Family Insulation has realized air-sealing is extremely important in nearly every project. To simply “insulate an attic” may not stop the drafts in your living room, or fix the “always cold” problem in your bedroom. Air-Sealing involves stopping the air-loss that’s trespassing into/out of your living space.
