Attic Insulation Photo Album: Montclair Home Comfort Improvement - Attic Insulation and Air Sealing

This home in Montclair VA had a room behind the garage and several rooms upstairs that were uncomfortable to the homeowner. In the winter the rooms were too cold and in the summer they were all too hot. Our home Performance sales Pro Andy did a whole home inspection and found the way to fix it. Removal of the old, dirty insulation in the attic, air sealing with Zyp Foam, insulating one of the attic walls with Silver Glo insulation panels and then filling the attic with blown in Tru Soft cellulose insulation was the answer. Keeping conditioned air created by the HVAC system in the rooms it was intended to heat and cool along with keeping the attic from becoming too cold or hot were the benefits of this project.

Dirty Old Insulation

This dirty insulation shows the quality of air that was working through the attic. Open venting was allowing external air with dust, allergens and pests to enter the attic.

Attic Air Sealing

After removing the old, dirty insulation, our production team used Zyp Foam to seal up the cracks and gaps that allowed conditioned air from the rooms below to leak into the attic.
