We installed dense packed cellulose insulation in the attic rafters of a Hampton, VA home. As you can see, the attic was completely bare before our insulation was added. If the attic is left like this, the home can become extremely uncomfortable. It makes the adjacent rooms ridiculously hot in the summer, wasting the conditioned air seeping through the cracks. The energy bill can become way more expensive than it should be. By insulating this home, we have created a barrier so the homeowners can save on their energy bill in the long run.
This Williamsburg, VA homeowner opted to have their attic insulated from the rafters with closed cell spray foam insulation. This solution is ideal for attics that house HVAC equipment, are used for storage, or that the homeowner would like to convert to a finished space. Insulating from the rafters extends the thermal barrier of the home and helps control attic temperatures.
The homeowners wanted to focus on insulation and energy efficiency in this area of the attic. The boards and old insulation were removed from the attic, and our team set to work air sealing and insulating the space.
Together, the air sealing and cellulose will reduce conditioned air loss and heat transfer between the living space and the attic. This will leave the homeowners with more comfortable rooms, fewer drafts, and lower energy bills.
