Home Insulation Photo Album: Sturgeon Lake, MN Cabin is Air Sealed & Insulated to Stop Pests

This lodge in Sturgeon Lake, MN needed an attic refresh. Old insulation and gaps and holes in the attic made the space accessible to bats. To increase comfort in the space and save energy, they called DBS to provide a free, no-obligation estimate.DBS Design Specialist Austin Burley visited the home and provided an estimate for the attic re-insulation project. He designed a custom plan that involved removing the existing insulation, air sealing the attic, and adding new cellulose insulation. DBS Foreman Nick Woods II led the install of this attic insulation project. After removing the insulation, the crew applied closed-cell spray foam to the attic deck, sealing gaps, cracks, and holes. From there, they installed TruSoft cellulose. This lightweight, yet dense insulation is made from recycled newspapers and coated with a non-toxic formula that is resistant to pests and fire. An air sealing and insulation the attic has huge benefits for energy-saving and year-round comfort!
