Poor attic insulation in POINTE-AUX-TREMBLES, Qc

Challenge

Mr. Choudhry recently bought a house in POINTE-AUX-TREMBLES .Upon inspection, it was strongly recommended that the attic insulation needed to be changed as there was only 6” of fiberglass insulation.

With the climate of Quebec, 6 inches of insulation in an attic is far from enough to have a comfortable home and to keep the air heated during cold weather. Poor insulation also leads to higher heating and cooling costs.

Solution

Mr. Choudhry contacted Systèmes Éconergie for the insulation of his attic. Our insulation method is done in 3 main steps:

1. Removing the old insulation

2. Sealing all air leaks with polyurethane foam (joints, recesses, holes, etc.) By sealing air leaks, your house will keep the air you are heating longer during the winter and the cooler air in the summer.

3.Blowing a little over 16” of cellulose fibers. Cellulose is a very effective, safe and even ecological insulation!

With this complete solution, our client can have peace of mind and have a comfortable home.
