Attic Insulation Photo Album: Berryville VA Attic Insulation Project

This home in Berryville VA needed to have the attic addressed in order to make the home more comfortable and more energy efficient. The homeowner wanted to be able to use more of the attic space for storage as well. A project was designed that involved removal of the existing insulation in order to to replace it with Foamax Wall panel insulation which would be air sealed with ZypFoam. Floor decking was added to allow for more ability to walk through and store items in the multiple knee walls of the attic. The end result was a more conditioned space that would be less influenced by outside air and temperatures, allowing for safe storage of the homeowners personal items.

Attic Before

Old insulation hanging loosely from the walls was not performing as needed, leaving the home uncomfortable.

Attic Before

Here we see the project design and instructions created by our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro.

Attic Before

Open attic floor framing left little opportunity to use the space in the attic for storage. The ceiling below also allowed for air to move freely with no air seal or insulation.

Insulated Attic Walls

Foamax panels now line the walls and the underside of the roof. This puts the insulation directly on the surfaces that are opposite outside, allowing for more use of the inside space in the attic.

Insulated Wall and Air Seal

The underside of this roof, serves as a slanted wall for the attic. It is covered with Foamax Insulation paneling and Zyp Foam has been used to air seal any gaps or cracks where air was previously able to move freely.
