A homeowner in New Hyde Park requested our services to insulate her attic. Upon completion of her free home energy assessment, it was apparent that her attic barely had any insulation and no air sealing at all. Triple H Contracting insulated her attic using cellulose and air selaed with foam. We also created a cat walk for a better storage area. Her home will be warmer in the winter and she will see an increase in savings.
This Crawl Space in New Hyde Park, NY was insulated with a Crawl Space Encapsulation System. All vents and other air leaks to the outside are sealed. The crawl space walls are insulated with SilverGlo foam board insulation with a reflective radiant barrier face. Then a dimpled plastic drainage matting is installed on the floor to create an airspace and thermal break. Finally a heavy duty, 20 mil thick crawl space encapsulation linear is installed permanently across the dirt floor- sealed with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor.
We started by removing the old, damaged insulation in the attic space. Then adding a storage platform and catwalk to make it easy to access the mechanical system in the attic and creating extra storage space for the homeowner. The platform we added has insulation boarders so its prepped for when we blow in new insulation. We added 12" of blown in cellulose insulation to the space. The homeowner will now have a comfortable home year round.
Triple H was called to this home in Manhasset for uncomfortable rooms above the Crawl Space. The Rim Joist of this home was not sealed or insulated. The Rim Joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. If the Rim Joist is not insulated or properly sealed it will cause cold floors and drafty and uncomfortable rooms. Triple H used Spray Foam to seal and insulate the Rim Joist. Since the Spray Foam expands it will seal all the cracks and gaps where the outside air gets in. The walls of this Crawl Space were poured concrete and were not insulated. Poured Concrete walls are dense and have a lot of thermal mass-meaning the heat you pay for in your home passes through the walls to the outside. Uninsulated concrete walls makes for a colder crawl space and colder floors above the crawl space. Triple H installed SilverGlo insulation on the walls. SilverGlo has graphite infused into the foam, this can raise R-value. Now that there is SilverGlo on the Crawl Space walls and Spray Foam insulation in the Rim Joist, the home will be much warmer, there will be less drafts, and the cost of heating and cooling will be reduced.
