Sealing Duct work
Have a new 1600 sqft home with a basement, 1st floor, and 2nd floor. With new ecobee temp. sensors installed on each floors, I've noticed the basement is is the warmest level in the house with a single degree being lost every time we move up a floor. Planing to seal the duct work in the basement via foil tape and mastic if I could find some in GTA. I'd like to participate in shop-the-block AM promo and was hopping to buy some foil tape from rona.
1. Are any of these foil tapes better then others?
2. Where does one get mastic in the GTA, no big box stores carry them, at least online when I checked. Is it needed or is foil good enough on all seams?
3. Is any of this reflective insulation at Rona good for adding insulation to duct work? From the description it sounds like it just bubble wrap, should that not be proper fibreglass insulation around the HVAC duct work instead?
