Attic Insulation to Prevent the Worse
Challenge
Winter is almost over. However, there has been an excess of drafts in their house, which was uncomfortable. Additionally, the Hydro bills were very high, especially during the months of December, January, and February due to the overuse of heating systems to compensate for the drafts. Consequently, they do not want to repeat the same scenario next winter.
Solution
Our team of workers, led by Colin, began by removing the old insulation. This step is important because many holes allowing air to escape may be hidden underneath. Then, they conducted an extremely detailed inspection to identify, without exception, all sources of air leaks. Our excellent product ZypFoam is used to seal air leaks. Finally, we blew in approximately 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation on the attic floor to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60.
