Adding Blown-In Cellulose Insulation to a Cold Attic in Fair Haven, NJ
Challenge
After this homeowner in Fair Haven, NJ saw us insulate his neighbors attic, she contacted our Attic Systems Division and ask how we can help her with her cold attic. After going over various options, she decided that she wanted Cowleys to add blown-in cellulose insulation to her attic.
Solution
Since there was no insulation in the attic, we went right to work. 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 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.
We also installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over the recessed lights in the attic. After adding TruSoft, we installed several SilverGlo™ borders. This will prevent the insulation from overflowing onto the attic floor and makes the attic look more organized.
