Spray foam insulation in Madeira
What Madeira homes mean for spray foam insulation
Madeira's owner stock is mostly 1950s-1970s ranch and split-level with drywall walls, vented attics, and crawl spaces or partial basements. Original R-11 fiberglass batts are common in both attic and wall cavities; rim joists are typically uninsulated.

Madeira packs about 3,600 homes into 3.38 square miles. The town was laid out in 1871, and the 1970 annexation of the South Kenwood area nearly doubled it, so most houses are 1950s to 1970s ranches and split-levels with drywall walls and vented attics. The typical attic insulation job here starts with sealing the top plates, bath fans, and recessed lights under a few inches of old, settled insulation, then adding depth toward the R-49 Ohio sets for new work. Rim joists in these houses are usually bare wood, which makes them the cheapest first fix, and a split-level's lower wing often sits on a crawl space or slab that needs its own plan rather than more attic insulation.
