Description

Completion!  Finally, at the end of the seven home build on Trenchard Place, we are looking down the newly created street in View Royal to see the homes with 2 Trenchard being the closest and 26 Trenchard being the one at the far end.

All of these homes have an R34 in the basement walls with the concrete part being an R22 formed from using ICF blocks plus R22 Ruxol in the cavites of the framed portion from the top of the concrete to the bottom of the main floor joists. Added to this is an R12 fiberglass batt that further insulates the area in the furring walls to which the vapor barrier and the drywall is attached. All cavities are insulated with the R22 Ruxol, a higher rated insulation than pink fiberglass, in all walls of the main and upper floors. All headers and floor joists box ends were foamed in order to provide another layer of air infiltration and insulation.

Message being, these homes were built far above existing building code that was in effect when permits were given.
