An attic hatch is one of the easiest ways for air to move in and out of an attic space. An entryway that requires an ability to open and close when needed, but should be sealed tight whenever it is not in use. Here you can see an insulated and zipper sealed attic hatch after it was installed on this previously uncovered opening.
Protecting conditioned, heated or cooled air, from an HVAC system can help lower energy costs. As air passes through the metal duct system it can react to room temperatures where the ducts are. A cold room with a metal duct can cool heated air moving through it, just as a hot attic with a duct in it can impact the cold air passing through it. Encapsulating HVAC ducts with spray foam keeps the environment inside of the duct safe for conditioned air to travel through.
This customer in Mclean, VA called us as they wanted to add more insulation in the attic. We did air sealing to stop the air leakage, as well as built plywood dams to keep the insulation in place and off the newly built storage deck. New decking was installed for storage and air sealed at the seams. Insulation was upgraded to R60. The result of doing this is better insulation & air sealing keeping the house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
