Multi-level attics can cause homes to be especially drafty if not insulated properly. When one room has a higher ceiling than another, it leaves a short area completely exposed in the attic. Fiberglass batts can’t stop the air flow. This major air leak was causing high energy bills and a drafty house. To solve this problem, we installed SilverGlo insulation in place of the fiberglass and sealed it with expanding foam. As a result, the adjacent rooms in the home were significantly warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, and the house was less drafty and more comfortable overall.
Exposed and leaky air ducts can be a huge source of energy loss in the home. It doesn't take long for a hot summer attic to warm up the cool, conditioned air in the ducts – air that the homeowner paid to cool! To make the heating and cooling system more efficient and less costly, we insulated the ductwork with our Spray Foam insulation and TruSoft blown cellulose. Blown Cellulose exceeds the insulation value of fiberglass, with R-values as high as R-4 per inch because it perfecly fills all the nooks within wall cavities and around duct work. And unlike fiberglass insulation, which can't stop air movement, Spray Foam insulation is effective in slowing or stopping air leaks that can waste energy and cause cold drafts.
