Attic Insulation in Boucherville, QC
Challenge
There was an excess of drafts in their house, which was very 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 cold drafts.
Solution
Removing the old insulation. This step is crucial because air leaks may be hidden underneath. Then, they conducted a detailed inspection to identify all sources of air leaks. Our excellent product, ZypFoam, was used to seal the air leaks. As for the attic access hatch, it is the largest opening in the attic that can let air escape, hence the importance of insulating it very well. For this, we used our revolutionary thermal insulator, SilverGlo. Finally, we blew approximately 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation into the attic to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60. The cellulose used is fire-resistant as well as resistant to mold formation.
