FHB Podcast Segment: Air-Sealing Can Lights Properly
In this Fine Homebuilding Podcast segment, the team discusses how to prevent can lights from causing problems.
In episode 642 of the Fine Homebuilding Podcast, Jared from New Tripoli, Pennsylvania, writes in about a persistent issue with water staining and condensation in his attic. He suspects the cause to be some incandescent can lights installed in his cathedral ceiling, but none of the contractors Jared has spoken with want to pursue the project. And that’s why he needs the FHB team’s help. They mention that air-sealing recessed can lights is incredibly important, as they can otherwise cause significant heat loss, potentially leading to condensation and ice damming. Check out the video above or listen to the full podcast to hear our team’s solutions to Jared’s problem.
