Kneewall in Newark, Delaware
This kneewall is exposed to the outside. Without the proper thermal boundary, the constant radiant heat from the sun on the roof, resulted in a uncomfortable living space.
Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass, which filtrates air movement rather than stop air flow was added to this kneewall area to improve conditions. Still experienced the same problem.
SuperKneeWall insulation and Air Sealing
Silverglo, which is a patent product from Dr. Energy Saver was added to the kneewall to counter the radiant heat from roof deck. After adding the Silverglo and Air Sealing the seams, you will find a change in how comfortable and easy it is to keep every room inside of the home comfortable.

Entrance to Kneewall
When there is an opening gap inside of a kneewall that is uncovered, a result in higher heating and cooling cost occurs. Along with the increase in the cost of home ownership, the living quarters usually become uncomfortable too.
Airtight Structural Cover
An airtight structural cover was added to cover up the hole inside of the kneewall area. This resulted in less air leakage and less unwanted heat loss and heat gain.
