Bare Attic Gets Blown-In Cellulose Insulation in Holmdel, NJ
Challenge
This new customer in Holmdel, NJ had an attic space that was completely bare. There was no debris, boxes, or even insulation in it! After seeing one of our ads on Facebook, he decided that he wanted to add some blown-in cellulose insulation to his attic and gave our Attic Systems division a call. After discussing various options, the owner decided to have us air seal his attic and add TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation.
Solution
First, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic. This will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, improving energy efficiency. Afterward, we installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over the recessed lights in the attic. These are made out of a fire resistant material and is specifically designed to stop unwanted air leakage through the recessed lights. Next, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation.
TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating & is resistant to mold and pests. Lastly, we installed several SilverGlo™ borders. This will prevent the insulation from overflowing onto the attic floor and makes the attic look more organized.
