This homeowner in Eastford, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her insulate the attic of her new construction house.
When the attic was ready to be insulated, we came in to get to work.
We air sealed the many various points where air from the home leaks up into the attic and is lost. We use Zypfoam™ expanding spray foam to air seal. Baffles (air chutes) were installed in each rafter bay to keep soffit vents clear and prepare for insulation. Finally, our premium TruSoft™ cellulose insulation was blown to the optimum R-value (R60). TruSoft™ will not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. Blown insulation fills all gaps and odd shaped voids, and by filling over framing members, “thermal bridging” is avoided. Results - a warmer, more comfortable, less drafty house! House is quieter. Fuel and electric bills are lower.
Before insulation
This home was being built, and there was no attic floor. A clean slate for insulation!
During
After the attic floor was added, we were able to begin air sealing and insulating, starting with ventilation.
Finished attic!
The attic has been insulated with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. All cracks and gaps have been sealed with Zypfoam one-part spray foam insulation.
