In this episode of The Risinger Build, we dive deep into home insulation techniques with Owens Corning insulation products, exploring the most efficient insulation choices for a showpiece home built in partnership with Builders FirstSource. We break down the differences between closedcell and opencell spray foam, highlighting how each type suits different climates and needs.
From spray foam to batts to blownin insulation, we’ll discuss the benefits of each and show you why and where they make the most sense. You’ll learn how we insulate exterior walls, rooflines, and attic spaces to ensure HVAC systems and ductwork stay within a controlled environment, perfect for Texas climate considerations. We’ll also discuss soundproofing with sound batts and the value of achieving an optimal Rvalue within different wall assemblies.

Topics Covered:
• Closed Cell vs. Open Cell Spray Foam: Key Differences
• Insulating Walls with Limited Depth for Maximum Efficiency
• Why Proper Insulation Placement Matters for HVAC and Ductwork
• Soundproofing with Sound Batts
• Benefits of Encapsulating Attics with Spray Foam

Whether you’re a pro builder or tackling your own home project, this guide offers insights into optimizing insulation for comfort, efficiency, and durability. Tune in to see how we apply these techniques onsite, ensuring a highperformance home in a hot climate.
