Home Insulation Photo Album: Duluth, MN Townhouse Properly Insulated for Year-Round Comfort

Townhome owners in Duluth, MN are in the process of permanently re-locating to Duluth year-round but noticed the first winter of owning the home that the space wasn't properly insulated. Specifically, their lower level was much colder than the upper level. Looking for year-round comfort, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution. Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation work. Because the space shares walls with another unit, our production crew drilled holes into the drywall and dense-packed it with our ultra-dense Tru-Soft™ cellulose. This insulation is fire-resistant and has an R-value much higher than fiberglass, and most rigid foam insulations. We also seal the gaps and cracks in the utility room and side of the home that is exposed to the elements. These homeowners can now equipped to living in Duluth year-round and maintaining a high level of comfort!

Sealing in the Lower Level to Protect Upper Level

It's common for Duluth, MN homes to have cold temperatures in the lower level that affect the main level of living space. This should be remedied now with the air sealing our team did around holes and gaps in the drywall and ceiling.

Space Between Flooring and Walls Sealed

Sometimes, the dry wall and flooring don't meet up properly. Although that may be okay if the space is going to get floor molding, there is still a gap the allows air flow.

Utilities Sealed

Even the most minute holes and cracks can significantly deplete a home of the warm air that you've paid to heat.

Wall in Elevator Shaft Insulated with Tru-Soft™ cellulose

This elevator shaft in the two-storey town home was a big factor in cold air circulated through the home. Our team cut holes into the drywall and dense packed the walls with Tru-Soft™ cellulose, a dense, high r-value insulation that out performs fiberglass batting and most rigid foam insulation.
