Challenge

This beautiful home in Fredericksburg VA had a serious design flaw that was causing home comfort issues.  This design flaw, while making the home look appealing and creating a wonderful outdoor spot for the homeowners to spend time, was leading to issues inside of the home and high energy bills.  The front porch of this home had a large overhang which helped create a nice porch to sit on and be free from too much sun/shade and some other elements. The light fixtures in the ceiling of the porch were acting as pathways for external air and temperatures to work into the air inside of the home. 

Solution

We removed all of the porch ceiling and installed Silver Glo insulation panels which were then air sealed with Zyp Foam.  This would create a barrier between outside and inside, eliminating uncontrolled air flow and temperatures.
