Attic insulation in Beauharnois, QC
Challenge
Our client, residing on the South Shore, specifically in Beauharnois, contacted us to inspect their attic. They knew they didn't have an adequate amount of insulation but preferred to call in a professional to ensure an effective solution.
Additionally, the presence of air leaks in the attic, mold development, and subsequent wood rot will cause a serious structural problem.
Solution
Removing the existing insulation. This step is important because many holes allowing air to escape were hidden underneath. They identified all sources of air leaks. Our excellent product ZypFoam is used to seal these holes. As for the attic access hatch, it's the largest hole 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 about 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation onto the attic floor to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60.
