Insulating an Attic with the SuperAttic™ System in Rocky Hill, CT

This homeowner in Rocky Hill, CT called us hoping we would be able to help her with her attic. Her attic had a moisture problem that became a mold problem. Additionally, there were home comfort issues, and they were using the attic for storage. They had a large amount of air leaks that were contributing to the issues in the home. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. Our solution is the the SuperAttic™ advanced conversion system. In this solution, SilverGlo™ EPS foam insulation board with graphite is installed on the underside of the roof deck. The graphite gives it superior R-value and a foil face on both sides reflects heat out in summer and back in during winter. The roof is still vented, kept cold in winter to prevent ice damming. In summer, excess heat is vented out. The attic is now part of the conditioned space in the home, and ducts in the attic are no longer in a hostile environment. The attic is clean, less dusty and suitable for storage. The homeowner can even finish their attic!
