Spooky Attic
This old and contaminated insulation made this attic feel spooky.
Lots of Dust and Dirt
Fiberglass insulation acts as a big air filter, trapping dust and dirt as air blows through it.
Signs of Critters
Signs of critters were seen in the old insulation. They like to build nests and use insulation as their home.
Out with the old.
The yucky insulation is removed and properly disposed of.
Air Sealing the attic floor.
With the attic cleaned up, it's much easier to air seal. All cracks and penetrations are sealed up with polyurethane foam.
Radiant Barrier is Applied
Stefans' Radiant Barrier is applied to the underside of the roof rafters. This will reflect radiant roof heat away from the attic.
Duct Encapsulation
The duct system in the attic is encapsulated with closed cell spray foam.
Chimney Chase is Sealed
The chimney chase is sealed with metal flashing, fire caulk, and wrapped with a rock wool sleeve.
Scuttle Cover is insulated.
The scuttle cover is air sealed and insulated with SilverGlo.
ProWool Insulation is Installed.
ProWool Premium Insulation provides effective thermal insulation with the added benefit of noise reduction to produce a quiet, comfortable, and energy efficient home.
No More Dust.
Most insulation materials produce a considerable amount of dust when they are blown into the attic. ProWool however, produces virtually none.
Attic Makeover is Complete
This attic is looking so much better and it doesn't feel spooky anymore. The upper floor of this home is comfortable and the dust is gone. Mission accomplished.
