Old Contaminated Insulation
This old and yucky attic insulation was insufficient and contributing to this homeowner experiencing uneven temperatures throughout their home.
Blown-in Cellulose Insulation
A Comfenergy production crew member installs cellulose insulation in the attic. Cellulose is considered preferable by many as a result of its eco-friendly properties and its ability to conform to corners, uniquely shaped spaces, and around obstructions such as ducts or electrical wires and other penetrations.
Cellulose Insulation Installation
Cellulose insulation goes beyond R-value because it also reduces air infiltration and convection more effectively than fiberglass, which further enhances its insulation properties. In fact, studies have shown that cellulose insulation can reduce airflow by as much as 30% when compared with other products. With the attic air sealed and properly insulated, this happy homeowner now has a more comfortable home.
Copper Mesh in Gable Vents
Copper Mesh was installed in the gable vents to block birds and rodents from entering.
Air Sealing and Can Light Covers
Once the attic was clean and clear, all of the accessible penetrations and top plates were sealed with expanding polyurethane foam. TiteShell can light covers were also installed. These fire resistant enclosures are specifically designed to protect your light fixtures from insulation in the attic and stop unwanted air leakage.
