Insulating a kneewall space in Chateauguay, QC
Challenge
Client was worried about his attic's insulation, specifically a non-insulated kneewall space. This issue was suspected to be undermining the attic's overall insulation performance.
The challenges identified included:
- Moist and foul-smelling kneewall space.
- Potential for mold growth.
- Air leakage points reducing insulation effectiveness.
- High energy bills and inconsistent indoor temperatures due to inadequate insulation.
Solution
To address these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive attic insulation renovation:
- Air-Sealing: Sealed all potential air leakage points to maintain insulation integrity.
- Insulation: Installed blown-in cellulose insulation, chosen for its thermal performance, eco-friendliness, and fire resistance, achieving an R-value of R60.
- Thermal Insulation: Applied SilverGlo thermal insulation on the walls.
