Attic Insulation Photo Album: Attic insulation in Lachine, Qc

The problem Mr. Zerczy had only 5 to 10 inches of fiberglass insulation in his attic. The lack of insulation made his house very uncomfortable and had noticed that his energy costs were getting very high. The solution: - Seal all air leaks on the attic floor such as joints, holes, and recessed. - Install vents all along the soffits to ensure good ventilation of the attic and prevent air from coming into contact with the insulation - Blow a little more than 16” of cellulose fibers to obtain an R-60 value.

This attic needed vents

Vents allow ventilation to the top of the attic in order to reduce humidity and condensation. They also prevent contact between the outside air and the insulation.
