Insulation Needs Across Southfield’s Homes and Businesses
Southfield is unusual in Southeast Michigan because it pairs large, established residential neighborhoods — mostly brick ranches and colonials from the 1950s through the 1970s — with one of the region’s densest office and commercial corridors. Older Southfield homes commonly suffer from thin attic insulation and un-sealed rim joists, while commercial buildings lose money every month through poorly insulated roof decks and metal wall assemblies. Both problems come down to the same thing: air that moves freely between conditioned and unconditioned space.
