Attic Insulation Photo Album: Attic Insulation in Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, Qc

The attic of our client, residing in Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, was poorly insulated. It embodied an excess of humidity. Indeed, mold stains were present on the ceiling. Furthermore, the existing insulation was rotten and damaged. This was reflected in the house by uncomfortable drafts that required excessive use of the heating/cooling system. As a result, the Hydro bill was almost unaffordable. This album illustrates the renovation work carried out by our specialists to ensure perfect insulation of the attic, from sealing all sources of air leaks to the installation of our cellulose insulation.

The attic during our inspection

The existing insulation was inadequate; mold stains were visible on the ceiling, and there was excess humidity

Mold under the existing insulation

The existing insulation was hiding other mold stains. It was another indication of poor attic insulation

Air leaks everywhere!

By removing the existing insulation, we were able to identify several sources through which air was escaping. This diminishes the effectiveness of the insulation

Air sealing all the existing holes

Air can escape through many existing holes within the attic. It is crucial to seal all these sources or air leaks.

Air sealing step: Very important to get a perfect insulation

The sealing step is extremely important to ensure the attic's airtightness and, consequently, achieve perfect insulation

Attic hatch

This is the largest hole in the attic. Therefore, it is crucial not to let the air escape. We use our excellent product SilverGlo to ensure its insulation

Thermal value R60

This is the recommended value for most regions of Quebec for insulation done through cellulose

Attic well insulated

The attic has undergone a radical transformation. It is now well-insulated, which will enhance residential comfort, eliminate uncomfortable drafts, and subsequently reduce the total Hydro bill
