Keeping old siding- let the sunshine in?
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 6:36 am
I've decided to keep the 'look' and keep my siding the way it is.
This is from the '60s, metal pieces placed together- some screws. When inside the home and gutted to the studs, even remove insulation.....
I can see the siding from the inside and there are lots of spots where sunshine comes in. I'd like to seal up all the holes.
First, is is 'not sealed' and siding seated in places for condensation purposes? Is it supposed to be airy?
Second, if I can seal- what should I use? Great Stuff? Silicone? Any suggestions? I'd be sealing it from the inside before I put up insulation.
Thanks guys!
