The Triple H Crew installed a SuperAttic in a home in Riverhead, NY. A SuperAttic covers your attic from a hot-in-the-summer, cold-in-the-winter, vented attic to a comfortable unvented attic. With SuperAttic, your attic becomes part of the conditioned space of your home. SuperAttic uses a SilverGlo EPS foam insulation board that is infused with graphite and specially manufactured with a radiant barrier to create an "energy force field" under your roof and above your attic space. Your home will now be less drafty, warmer in winter, and cooler in summer, with lower fuel and electric bills
We started by removing the old, dirty insulation from the attic space, prepping it for new insulation. Then we sealed all air penetration and blew in 16' of fresh cellulose insulation.
This customer from Mattituck had a energy assessment because half of the second floor bedrooms were warmer in the summer than the other bedrooms. After examining the customer's house it was determined that one of their issues was that their supply plenum was not properly insulated. To help improve comfort in their bedroom, we wrapped the supply plenum with insulated duct wrap, preventing cool air from being lost into the attic. By doing this, these bedrooms will be much cooler in the summer because all the conditioned air will go to the bedrooms and not escape through the ducts to the attic. The house is also more energy efficient.
A resident of Mattituck contacted Triple H regarding comfort concerns in their home. One of the issues discovered was their bath fan was exhausting into their attic instead of outside. Additionally, the attic did not have a radiant barrier or proper air sealing throughout, including around high-hats. Our team fixed this problem by insulating the knee walls with Silver Glow rigid foam board, covering the light fixtures with a rockwool cap and, air sealing with one-part spray foam.
A homeowner from Cutchogue, NY contacted Triple H Insulation with complaints that their home is always cold and drafty. Our home comfort consultant Bill performed a free evaluation of their home. Upon completion of the evaluation Bill provided a solution to improve the attic. Triple H removed and disposed of all the existing insulation in the attic, then the team air sealed and insulated the attic floor with 16 inches of TruSoft cellulose. They then air sealed and insulated the two ceiling levels in the attic using SilverGlo insulation foam boards. The homeowner will now be more comfortable and the home will be more energy efficient.
