It already knows your trade

Not a generic script with your name dropped in. It speaks the language.

R-value

Resistance to heat flow. Higher is better, and recommended levels vary by climate zone.

air sealing

Closing gaps before insulating. Insulation over unsealed gaps underperforms badly — this is the step people skip.

open vs closed cell foam

Closed cell is denser, higher R per inch, and is also a vapour barrier. Costs more.

blower door test

Measures how leaky a house is. The honest before-and-after number.

thermal bridging

Heat escaping through framing rather than through insulation.

vapour barrier

Controls moisture movement. Placed wrong, it traps water and causes rot.

baffles

Keep soffit vents clear when insulating an attic. Blocking them causes moisture problems.

knob and tube

Old wiring that generally cannot be covered with insulation. A common stopper on older homes.
