10 Air Sealing Tips for a More Airtight Home

Jake Bruton shares 10 practical air-sealing tips from a custom home project, explaining how to reduce air leakage and improve building performance. He starts with stack effect and the importance of planning an effective air barrier before construction begins. The walkthrough covers sealing sill plates and top plates, using large sections of air-barrier materials, limiting penetrations, and choosing windows and doors with better airtightness. Bruton also discusses selecting the right flashing or sealant for different penetrations and coordinating plumbing and mechanical layouts. He wraps up with blower door testing to verify air-sealing results and measure overall airtightness.
