Creating a Conditioned Attic in Harrington, DE

Homeowners in Harrington, DE wanted to create a conditioned attic out of their vented attic. 

These homeowners had dirty and old attic insulation that needed to be removed. After the many months or years that insulation sits in the attic, it collects dirt, dust, rodents, etc. 

Not only did they need new their old insulation removed, they also needed a product that would properly insulate their vented attic. 

Vented attics can reach extreme temperatures do to air leakage. This causes the attic to not be suitable for storage as well as causes high utility costs.  

Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has installed closed cell spray foam in layers along the bottom of the roof deck and sealed to the perimeter of the ceiling. This creates an airtight cap which stops air from leaking in or out of the attic. 

After spray foam insulation, the attic can be used for storage, the home is less drafty and it helps lower utility costs.
