Seal Before You Insulate
Why is it so important?
Insulation that is blown in or laid in is not designed to stop air flow. There are special dense packed blow in insulation types that are designed to stop air flow, but the majority are designed to stop the movement of energy (conduction) not the flow of air (convection). This is why it is so important to air seal before you insulate. You’ve got to seal it before you insulate it to get it 100% correct.
