Batted Insulation
Before the CEC got to this attic, the homeowner only had batted insulation between their home and their attic space. This made for even hotter summers and colder winters.
Insulation
With little insulation, there leaves a lot of spaces for changing temperatures to seap ito your home.
Before Blow In
This is before cellulose insulation was blown into this space following the air seal.
Blow In
This area is going to be brought up to an R-30 value after insulation is placed.
Air Sealing
An expanding polyurethane foam is sprayed around areas of the attic that can be exposed to changing temperatures.
R-Value
As you can see, the R-value before the blow in was very low. Our crew brought the homeowners R-value up to R-30.
Can Light Seal
These can lights can be a source of air flow into your home from your attic. We air seal these areas to ensure there is no air flow.
Previous Insulation
In the South the DOE recommends R-value be at an R-20. We took this R-19 and added enough insulation to bring our customer optimal home comfort.
Cellulose Insulation
This material conforms to walls and cavities creating a tight thermal barrier that brings homeowners more comfort.
Final R-value
This completed insulation job included blown in cellulose to an R-30.
