Loose Batting Insulation in Saginaw, MN
As attic insulation loses its ability to insulate, it allows warm air to escape from the home. As that warm air reaches the cold roof in the winter, condensation forms, and mold growth occurs, as seen on the wood in this photo.
Old Insulation Has Little R-Value
Over time, loose batting insulation like this loses its R-value. When that happens, it's difficult to keep warm air from escaping the home via the attic.
Old Insulation Will Be Removed in Saginaw, MN
Our team begins most insulation projects by removing the old insulation and prepping the space for air sealing.
Access to the Attic Built with SilverGlo™
When our team builds a knee wall in an attic space, they use SilverGlo™ graphite-infused foam insulation. This photo shows an access door that will allow for entry to the insulated portion of the attic.
Spray Foam Air Seals and Insulates in Saginaw, MN
After the old insulation was removed, our team applied spray foam to the attic deck. Spray foam expands on application to gals and cracks in the building material.
Pressurized Application of Tru-Soft™ Cellulose
Cellulose is applied to the attic via a pressurized hose. This allows an even and dense application of the insulation.
New Cellulose Insulation in Saginaw, MN
Our team has now completed the attic insulation project after blowing in several inches of cellulose.
Cellulose and Knee Wall
This photo shows a knee wall that our team constructed on the left-hand side. To the right, our team has air sealed and applied cellulose.
Spray foam of Rim Joists
Our crew also applied spray foam to the basement rim joists. This will prevent the stack effect from occurring - or the process of air entering the home via the basement, traveling through the home and exiting via the attic.
