Builder's Insulation Playbook
Why We Insulate | The Builders Insulation Playbook - Ep. 1
In this episode of the Builder's Insulation Playbook, presented by Atlas, we cover the fundamentals of residential insulation strategy. Learn why insulation matters — comfort, durability, and long-term cost — and how to navigate R-value vs. U-factor, IRC climate zones, and prescriptive code compliance. We also examine cavity vs. continuous exterior insulation, thermal bridging, and the difference between nominal and effective R-value. Join us in the next episode as we explore insulation material options.
