Photo Album: Making a home More Comfortable in East Longmeadow, MA
These home owners in East Longmeadow, MA call us out to see what we can do about making there home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Most of the time when we hear this there is insufficient insulation in the attic. When we went up there we could see that he had old fiberglass batt insulation. This was doing next to nothing to protect his home. First thing we must do to help these home owner is to remove this old nasty insulation. Then we started to install one of our treatments called a super attic. This bring the thermal boundary from the floor of the attic to the roof line. First step in doing this is to block the floor bays so no cold or hot air can get into the floor and effect this space. Then we just start putting up the runs of SilverGlo EPS foam board. When we do this we have to make sure to air seal in between ever piece of SilverGlo to ensure an air tight boundary. Once we have all the pieces in we go around and make sure everything is air sealed. After that the project is complete. This home will now be nice and warm in the winter and cool in the summer!
