Arbor builds High Performance Homes!


One of the many standard features in your Arbor Custom Home is the "foam sealed rim joists". This is one of the hundreds of additional building practices that Arbor implements to make your home Higher Performance and Energy Efficient than other builders. In order to prevent heating and cooling loss, Arbor has discovered through research in building sciences that the rim joist area between floor levels is one of the greatest areas of energy loss and cold air drafts. To improve your home's sealing to prevent air infiltration and moisture, Arbor's insulation contractor sprays an expanding foam sealer around the entire perimeter of the homes floor rim joist at the exterior. This improved insulating feature is one of the many techniques to improve the overall performance and efficiency of your home! Arbor is dedicated to providing their homeowners with the best Tested and Proven practices to build your home to higher standards than any others in the industry!
