Deep Dive into Interior Airsealing & Insulation

After we airsealed and insulated our family home from the exterior, we kept going with the details shown in this 30 min video, using airsealing systems from 475 High Performance Building Supply including Intello Plus membrane and Vana tape, with Rockwool cavity insulation (aka Roxul).

Central Vacuum System Component Confusion

Having to special order parts for construction is always a bit of a gamble- I always seem to run out of something, and have too many of something else when all is said and done. This central vacuum system from Nutone is a little tricky since the guidance on these systems is very sketchy at the advanced level (the install manual isn’t all you need for sure, and even generally helpful online resources aren’t answering all my questions), so I’m using what I know about heat flow, pressure and flow, moisture, and contaminants to customize our system with more immediately available materials!

100-Year Roof: Mento 3000

See 475's high performance Pro Clima roof membrane get installed on this 3:12 pitched roof, before the rain screen , exterior insulation, and eaves get put on. More on this project at: https://HomeDiagnosis.tv/atlanta-homestead

Construction Fashion Show

Corbett shows off the sometimes glamorous work uniform of a novice builder. He loves his SPF 50 sun shirts, contractor pants (Atlas 46 brand), and Pro Clima sealing tape for holes in boots and gloves.

Finishing the #DryVault: Highest Performance Tool Shed in the World

See Corbett put the finishing touches on the airsealing and insulation of the #DryVault's enclosure in Atlanta. All that's left is to test the airtightness and insulation perfection with blower doors, infrared cameras, lasers and spaceships.

#TinyLab Airsealing Tape Technique Demonstration

If you want airtightness (and you DO), you want to use airsealing tape. Corbett demonstrates Tescon Vana tape application, thanks to 475 High Performance Building Supply for importing this stuff from Europe!

Air Sealing Tape: Proof of 100 Year Durability

Building performance expert Corbett Lunsford respects proof of performance, and ProClima's airsealing tape has now been proven to him. See Tescon Profil tape that was applied to the subfloor of the #TinyLab as it holds up to 5 months of pure abuse during the construction process.
