This customer in Huntington was aware that his home may need more insulation. He requested that Triple H come to the home and assess the insulation. At this time it was suggested that he could benefit from SilverGlo insulation in his knee wall. SilverGlo is a high R-Value, graphite-infused insulation foam board, lined with radiant foil that reflects the sun's heat away from the home during the summer, and maintains the heat during the winter. By using SilverGlo, the homeowner will no longer feel the effects of hot and cold air penetrating the room.
This homeowner in Huntington, NY reached out to us hoping to get his attic insulated. When our Home Comfort Specialist Ryan came out to the home, he noted that the attic space was insulated with old batt insulation. It was unfortunately not air sealed. This explained the issues that the homeowner was having with uneven temperatures throughout the home. The solution Ryan came up with for this customer was we would remove the old batt insulation from the attic. From there we would air seal all penetrations to prevent any air leaking coming in or out of the home. Then we would add new blow in cellulose insulation, while keeping a catwalk space for the homeowner to have easy access. Now, this homeowner has a properly insulated attic!
Triple H Insulation air sealed this attic space from any penetrations that caused any air leakage in the home. Then add 10" cellulose insulation to reach the appropriate R-value of R-49.
