Complete renovation of a poorly insulated attic in Papineauville, Quebec
Challenge
The owner of a house in Papineauville contacted us because his attic was poorly insulated, resulting in significant heat loss and high heating bills. The space had poorly covered areas, cracks, and unsealed ducts, which caused thermal discomfort and reduced the overall energy efficiency of the house. The attic did not provide the performance needed to withstand Quebec winters.
Solution
For this project in Papineauville, our team completely transformed the attic to optimize the home's thermal comfort and energy efficiency. After a thorough inspection to identify critical areas and thermal bridges, we caulked all cracks and ducts to prevent air leaks. We then applied our TruSoft cellulose insulation evenly throughout the attic, ensuring high-performance, long-lasting insulation. The thickness and density of the insulation were carefully controlled to maximize the R-value, while ice dam and moisture protection measures were put in place to prevent damage and ensure the longevity of the installation. Each step was carried out in accordance with best practices in attic insulation and Quebec energy efficiency standards, resulting in a more comfortable, energy-efficient, and sustainable home throughout the year.
