Using SilverGlo to Insulate Attic in Bechlortown, MA
Challenge
Are you experiencing uncomfortable rooms that are hard to heat and cool?
At Dr.Energy Saver, Focusing on air sealing and insulating ceilings is critical to making a home comfortable and energy efficient. But some homes are constructed with rooms that have walls exposed to hostile attic temperatures. It’s part of why rooms are too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. If the fiberglass insulation in the wall between the room and attic is exposed (open-faced to the attic) it will not give much insulation value at all because air and heat go through the fluffy open matrix of the insulation easily. This could result in uncomfortable rooms that are hard to heat and cool, and higher fuel and electric bills.
Solution
At Dr. Energy saver we can help with our SilverGlo foam insulation with radiant barrier
SilverGlo is an expanded polystyrene foam insulation board with graphite infused into the foam. This gives it a 24% higher insulation value per inch than standard EPS foam. It also has a shiny radiant barrier heat as well, so the insulation isn’t doing all the work itself. The SilverGlo is applied and sealed to the attic side of the interior walls to stop heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.
