Attic Insulation Photo Album: Adding Blown-In Cellulose Insulation to Cluttered Attic in Rumson, NJ
We're going to transform this cluttered attic to an energy efficient one!
Cluttered Attic Space
As you can see, the attic was cluttered and full of random items.
Clear It All Out
So we safely removed all of the items out of the attic and properly disposed of all the old fiberglass insulation.
Starting to Air Seal
After that we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic, which will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic. Thereby improving energy efficiency.
Covered the Recessed Lights
Next, we installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over all 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.
The Right R-Value
We then placed several measuring sticks throughout the attic to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added to the attic. Finally, we added over 12 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation.
Why TruSoft is Superior
Not only does this fill the attic to its recommended insulation levels, but TruSoft insulation maximizes home comfort, 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 for the homeowner!
