Good Afternoon. We hope everyone is having a great week. Over the past eighteen months Whitney Blair Inc. has made it our mission to research green building materials, methods, and technology. Our staff then implements the use of these materials, methods, and technology in the field on the homes that we build. This results in homes that are built smarter, environmentally friendly, and with greater energy efficiency. We thought we would take a minute or two and point out a few of Whitney Blair's "Best Practices" that you may, or may not know we include for our custom home clients. Questions and feedback are welcome and encouraged.
Best regards,
The Whitney Blair Inc. Team
One of the greatest areas of air infiltration and energy loss is where the sill plate meets the top of foundation. By using a Sill Sealer it provides a barrier that conforms and seals off the voids and irregularities between the top of the foundation and sill plate.
By parging the top of the foundation block it assists in the prevention of termite infiltration.
The vapor barrier reduces potential moisture infiltration from ground water below.
