Making a Den Warmer in Enfield, CT

These homeowners in Enfield, CT had issues keeping their home, primarily the den, warm in the winter. There were old batts of fiberglass insulation that at one point were installed into the ceiling of the crawlspace, but were now falling off, letting cold air up into the home.

We started off by clearing out this old insulation. With the space cleared, we sealed off the rim joist, otherwise know as the perimeter of the floor framing of the house, to stop cold air from creeping in. We installed our SilverGlo graphite infused foam board onto the walls to insulate the crawlspace to keep heat in during the winter. We then got to work on the dirt floor of the crawlspace. We laid down our dimpled drainage to create an airspace and thermal break. Then we put down our TerraBlock floor insulation, and finalize our sealing off the crawlspace with our vapor barrier liner to keep moisture from getting into the crawlspace and creating any mold issues.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home will be warmer and the den with be far more comfortable.
