Triple H was called to this home in Manhasset for uncomfortable rooms above the Crawl Space. The Rim Joist of this home was not sealed or insulated. The Rim Joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. If the Rim Joist is not insulated or properly sealed it will cause cold floors and drafty and uncomfortable rooms. Triple H used Spray Foam to seal and insulate the Rim Joist. Since the Spray Foam expands it will seal all the cracks and gaps where the outside air gets in. The walls of this Crawl Space were poured concrete and were not insulated. Poured Concrete walls are dense and have a lot of thermal mass-meaning the heat you pay for in your home passes through the walls to the outside. Uninsulated concrete walls makes for a colder crawl space and colder floors above the crawl space. Triple H installed SilverGlo insulation on the walls. SilverGlo has graphite infused into the foam, this can raise R-value. Now that there is SilverGlo on the Crawl Space walls and Spray Foam insulation in the Rim Joist, the home will be much warmer, there will be less drafts, and the cost of heating and cooling will be reduced.
This is an attic space in Manhasset, NY that was recently insulated with TruSoft Blown In Cellulose Insulation. Blown Cellulose is made of recycled paper, is flame, mold and pest retardant, and denser than fiberglass with a higher R-Value. By blowing it in, TruSoft cellulose fills all irregular gaps and voids to create a seamless blanket across your attic.
To help this homeowner better insulate his attic space, Triple H insulated it with Rockwool batt insulation. Now the home will have less drafts and be more comfortable year round.
This homeowner in Manhasset, NY reached out to Triple H Insulation because his home was feeling hot and drafty, as well as he felt that his AC system was constantly running but the home was not getting cold. Our specialist Ryan went out to the home to complete an evaluation. After the evaluation, one of Ryan's recommendations was to encapsulate the AC duct system in the attic space. Your vented attic is the worst possible place to locate ducts. Attics are the extreme opposite temperature of the air your ducts are trying to distribute to rooms. Our crew encapsulated this duct system with an inch of spray foam insulation. By doing so, we are sealing and insulating this whole duct system. Now when this AC system cools the air, the cool air will be delivered to all rooms without loss along the way, and without constantly staying on.
A resident of Franklin Square had a free in-home evaluation. The homeowner was having some comfort concerns. It was determined that the home could benefit from new insulation and air sealing in the attic. Before blowing in cellulose insulation, we air sealed the attic floor. Air sealing is always recommended when putting in new insulation because it seals up all air leaks in the home. We then blew in 12" of Cellulose insulation, providing a superior R-value per inch. Now that the attic is sealed and insulated properly, the customer should now experience warmer winters and cooler summers, as well as a less drafty home.
