Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

The attic is the place to start if you want to improve your home's comfort and energy efficiency. This attic was air sealed to prevent conditioned air from leaking into the attic. We created a beautiful new insulated storage deck and added 18-in of new cellulose insulation. These folks can expect lower heating and cooling bills of about 30%. And they have a nice clean space to store their Christmas stuff!

This third floor original attic in historic Haddon Township had huge issues with leaking air. This caused utility bills to spike and comfort hit an all-time low.

After air sealing to prevent the leaking air, we installed foam board insulation to keep that comfortable air in. 

This client wanted a cooler second floor in the summer but wanted to maintain the storage space in the attic. We couldn't just blow cellulose insulation onto the deck.

The Solution? Super Deck! First we blew cellulose insulation under the deck to fill up the cavity below the floor. Second, we sealed the ends of the floor cavities with spray foam so no air could move under the floor. And third, we covered the floor with 2-in SilverGlo foam board that boosts the R-value of the platform to R-30. You can't see it in the pictures, but the SilverGlo was covered with a new layer of plywood for a durable starage surface.

No more comfort issues for this homeowner!

Our customer's third floor was way too hot in the summer due to their air conditioning ductwork being exposed to those high attic temperatures.

To solve their sweaty strife, our team insulated the underside of their roof with a combination of high performance 2-inch foam board and fiberglass batts which lowered the attic air temperature dramatically.

These homeowners were never comfortable upstairs. Their home was built in the 1950's and had the original insulation which was only 2-in thick and had been removed in spots. The summer sun heated the attic to 120 degrees and the poor insulation didn't keep that heat from going right through the second floor ceiling.

The first measure we installed was attic air sealing. The insulation was moved and all wall tops and penetrations around wires and pipes were sealed with expanding spray foam. This keeps the conditioned air in the home from leaking into the attic. Next, we added 16-inches of blown in cellulose insulation. The R-value of the insulation increased from R-7 to R-51 which means 67% less heat is transferred through the ceiling!

The home is now comfortable all year and our clients are glad to refer us to family and friends.
