When designing homes for this coastal town, builders must take into consideration the cold climate coupled with an average rainfall of 51 inches per year.
The key is to design homes with an air, vapor and thermal barrier around the home’s exterior to keep out the wind, cold air and moisture. Homes need to be constructed as tight as possible, while maintaining proper ventilation mechanically. The homeowner elected to go with closed cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) for his new home construction, as it was the best product to provide a robust air, vapor and thermal barrier.
