This before and after shoto series shows a vertical wall adjacent to an attic. Poorly insulated walls like this can allow hot air from the attic to radiate through the drywall and heat the room on the other side. Closed cell spray foam keeps the heat away from the wall and protects it from heating the room on the other side!!
This Sterling, VA homeowner called us out to lower his energy bills, but we couldn't get into the attic because there was no access. We cut the drywall and created a new access with trim.
Cold floors in rooms above garages are typically caused by air gaps between the sub-flooring above and the fiberglass batt insulation below. Any time insulation does NOT touch the surface you are trying to keep warm or cool...it will NOT work!
See how big the gap between the floor and the insulation is in this Sterling Virginian Home WOW!!!! This might have been the worst we have ever seen...Might be 2-3 feet of a gap!
Our team spray foamed the gaps to ensure no air leakage. These floors are now much more comfortable!
To fix the comfort issues occurring on the top floor of this home, our team reinsulated the attic with both cellulose and spray foam.
Sometimes the insulation around the vertical portions of a skylight will fall off or is never installed, to begin with. This allows outside air to radiate through the drywall and into the living spaces below. This can make a home feel uncomfortable in certain areas. Closed-cell spray foam is installed on all surfaces of the skylight chase with an average thickness of 2 inches. This keeps the outside air away from the drywall and lessens airflow into the living spaces below.
