In just one day we were able to transform this 100+ year old home attic space and make the whole home more comfortable year round with less drafts. The Customer was very happy in the end!
A homeowner from Woodmere, NY contacted Triple H stating that they feel drafts from bedroom closets and that upstairs is much colder than downstairs. Our home comfort consultant Bill performed a free evaluation of the home. Upon completion Bill was able to provide solutions for the homeowner. Triple H removed and disposed of the existing attic insulation, and air sealed and insulated the attic floor with 16” of TruSoft cellulose. They then dense packed the decking between the attic and ceiling up to 6” deep with TruSoft cellulose The homeowner will now be more comfortable in their home, and it will be energy efficient.
This poorly insulated knee wall space in Valley Strea, NY could lead to it being always cold in the winter and always hot in the summer, causing this space not be suitable for storage since its very hot or cold. The knee wall space could form the ceiling of the room below it, and the wall of it could be shared with an upstairs room. When a knee wall is not insulated it could cause these rooms to be uncomfortable to live in. Triple H insulated the knee wall space with SilverGlo foam board insulation. SilverGlo has a radiant barrier on both sides to reflect heat in the summer and keeps heat in the house in the winter. With the new insulation the home will be significantly more comfortable home.
To help this customer experience a more comfortable home all year long, Triple H insulated this attic space with 16" of blown in cellulose insulation and air sealed all air leaks in the attic to prevent drafts. The home now stays cool in summer and warm in the winter.
In this attic, we added a new storage platform, installed blown cellulose behind the plywood dams, and added baffles to the soffits to help with air ventilation.
