Old Home Attic Project - Strathroy, ON
Before
This attic in Strathroy, Ontario was in rough shape. The old pink fiberglass insulation was dirty, damaged, and no longer effective. The roof deck showed signs of black mold on the aging lumber, and without proper baffles or damming, the attic was vulnerable to wind washing and ice damming. Energy efficiency was low, air leakage was high, and the home was losing valuable heat.
After
We transformed the space completely. First, we removed all the contaminated fiberglass and treated the roof deck to eliminate the black mold. Then we installed all new baffles and damming to control airflow and prevent future ice damming issues. Next, we applied 2" (R12) of closed-cell spray foam to the attic floor, creating an airtight seal. To finish, we added R60 of blown-in cellulose for superior insulation.
Recommended Attic insulation - Hanover, ON
Before
The attic in the home was insulated using 6” fiberglass batt insulation. The R value for this application is approximately R20 while the recommended value for homes in Ontario is R60. The existing forced the home’s HVAC system to work harder and more often to maintain a comfortable living space.
After
Advanced Basement Systems replaced the batt insulation with cellulose blown-in up to a thickness of R60. The result will reduce the energy required to heat/cool the home and meet the recommended levels.
