Inexpensive Way of Insulation
DIY to help you do insulation by yourself in most inexpensive way. See and learn how easy it is, just few quick steps to follow..
Take Foam Panels Called “Dow Tuff
It is a closed cell foam about 2inches thick with r-value of 12.
Measure the Wall Cavity
Using a measuring tape see exactly how big or small the piece of foam you need to cut. And make mark on your foam.
Cut Foam Pieces
Then take a foam board to table saw and cut each piece to fit but keep in mind not to cut it real snug, cut it in a way so there is a little bit of a gap around the foam piece when it fits into wall cavity.
Fit Foam in Wall Cavity
Now put the sized foam pieces in a wall cavity and use a great stuff foam sealant around the perimeter of it and seal it off.
Cut the Excess Foam Sealant
Now you will see the foam sealant expands and some of it comes out, but don’t worry just take a small hand saw or a razor blade and just cut the excess.
Put Drywall Back
And then the last step is too put your drywall back over the insulated wall cavities.
