Even though this attic appears to be well insulated the homeowners still dealt with uncomfortable conditions in their home year round. After meeting with one of our Certified Home Comfort Specialists, these homeowners decided to upgrade their attic with our SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation. Infused with graphite in the foam that acts as tiny heat reflectors, the R-value of SilverGlo is 24% higher than standard EPS foam making the home that much more comfortable and efficient. Just so the insulation doesn't have to do all of the work alone, SilverGlo has radiant barrier on both sides which reflect heat taking it's efficiency level even higher.
The owners of this Dover, DE home dealt with uncomfortable conditions in their home even though it would seem that they had enough insulation. The insulation fills the cavities in walls so that must be the highest R-Value, right? Wrong! Standard batted fiberglass with an R-Value of 19 is about 6.5" thick. Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has installed SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation that is just 4" thick with a higher R-Value and comes complete with radiant barrier on both sides to deflect direct heat off of the home while preventing conditioned air inside from escaping resulting in a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
Are all of your home's exhaust fans properly vented? These Dover, DE homeowners complained of cold floors. Part of the issue stemmed from an under-insulated cantilever. While preparing to replace the standard batted fiberglass with a much more energy efficient rigid foam board insulation with radiant barrier named SilverGlo, our crew discovered a bathroom exhaust duct which had never been properly vented. If left alone the unvented exhaust could have caused these homeowners grief in the future. Our crew not only replaced their old insulation with the state of the art SilverGlo, but they also created a way for the exhaust to be properly vented. A vent cover was attached to the soffit that lined up perfectly with the exhaust duct when put back into place.
Blown In Fiberglass Insulation on the attic floor and SilverGlo™ Foam on the Attic Kneewall helps this Kent County homeowner save money on their utility bills while keeping the home comfortable year round.
Houston, DE - This homeowner had rooms that were hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The homeowner called Lawson Home Services to perform an Energy Audit to determine what options would be best in improve the efficiency of the home and make the rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Before insulation was added the old dirty insulation was removed and the attic floor was properly air sealed to keep the air that they heat and cool in the home longer. After the air sealing was completed an insulated storage deck was built and the remaining attic was insulated to R60 using TruSoft Cellulose.
