Triple H Insulation air sealed this attic space from any penetrations that caused any air leakage in the home. Then add 10" cellulose insulation to reach the appropriate R-value of R-49.
This home owner in Lindenhurst requested a Free Home Energy Assessment because they were experiencing cold floors and climate comfort issues. After completion of the assessment, it was decided that the home would benefit from SilverGlo and a vapor Barrier in the crawl space. By installing SilverGlo and a vapor barrier this will make the floors above warmer and the home more comfortable.
A resident of Lindenhurst was having comfort issues in their home. After an assessment it was discovered that one of the issues was their attic knee wall had little to no insulation. A knee wall space is created when a finished room is built within a sloped roof. A short wall called a “knee wall” forms a triangular space. With little to no insulation the floor of the upper level, the ceiling of the lower level and the knee wall are all cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Triple H insulated this Knee Wall with 10” Blown-In Cellulose. Also added Blocks of SilverGlo foam insulation on the walls. With this being done, this customer will have a significantly warmer upstairs in the winter, cooler rooms in the summer and less drafts. Overall this home will be more comfortable.
This customer from Lindenhurst, NY was having problems with cold floors above his crawl space which was also causing the rooms to be cold. After an evaluation it was determined that he needed new insulation on the ceiling of his crawl space. The crawl space of this home was not properly insulated and was being exposed to the outside air. When the outside air flows under a floor it feels very cold and uncomfortable in the winter. Triple H went in and removed the old batt insulation (which does not prevent air leaks) and added expanding spray foam. The spray foam fills all voids, gaps, and odd shapes to stop the air from flowing through the floor. Now the floors and rooms will be much warmer and a more comfortable home.
