The process in question involves creating small access points in a building’s exterior walls, typically between studs, through which insulation material is injected. This method is often employed in existing structures where traditional insulation installation is impractical or cost-prohibitive. Subsequently, the access points are sealed, leaving a minimally invasive insulation solution. This approach is frequently sought by homeowners and property managers aiming to improve energy efficiency in their current locations.
The application of this technique offers several advantages, including reduced energy consumption, improved thermal comfort, and potential cost savings on heating and cooling expenses. In older buildings lacking sufficient insulation, this method can significantly enhance energy performance. Its historical use stems from the need to retrofit insulation into buildings constructed before modern energy efficiency standards were established, providing a practical and less disruptive alternative to complete wall reconstruction.
