Attic Insulation Photo Album: Transforming an Old Attic Into an Energy Efficient One in Warren, NJ

We're going to air seal the attic and then add some TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation to the area!

Remove All the Old Stuff

First, we removed all of the old fiberglass insulation, as well as other items, and properly disposed of them. Afterward, we then disinfected the entire attic.

Now We Air Seal

Next, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic.

Perks of Air Sealing

This will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, which in turn improves energy efficiency.

Just the Right Amount

We then placed several measuring markers throughout the attic which ensures that the proper amount of R-value is added to the area.

Installing TruSoft Blown-In Cellulose Insulation

Once we finished with that, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation throughout the attic.

Perks of TruSoft

Adding TruSoft will fill the attic to its recommended insulation levels, in addition to maximizing home comfort for the owner. TruSoft also has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, is eco-friendly, and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings!

Attic Hatch Cover

Lastly, we installed a reflective attic stairway insulator over the attic stairs. This functions by forming air spaces with layers of bubbles and reflective foils. These spaces restrict air movement which reduces heat flow by convection. Additionally, the reflectivity and low emissivity of each reflective layer also reflects away up to 96% of radiant heat!
