Home Exterior Insulation In Old Masonry Buildings

Allyson emphasizes the importance of addressing control layers in historical building renovations. In the case of the French Eclectic apartment in Chicago, she is focusing on air control by insulating the walls with rockwool batting. This choice allows for the building to breathe and potentially address any moisture issues that may arise. While exterior spray foam insulation could provide better thermal control and water management, Allyson prefers the visibility and breathability that rockwool batting offers in historic homes. By anticipating unforeseen conditions and making informed decisions about control layers, she ensures the building works effectively for itself.
