Preparing the Attic for Storage
These homeowners wanted to make their attic suitable for storage. First, they needed to properly insulate and air seal their attic so it can be suitable for storage.
Fiberglass Insulation
Depending on which area a homeowner lives in, depends on how much insulation is required in their attic. This homeowner not only needs new insulation, but a lot more of it!
SuperPlatform and Insulation Dams
Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has begun installing the SuperPlatform and Insulation Dams. The SilverGlo board is installed across the ceiling joists. The oriented strand board is installed over the SilverGlo. The Dams hold the new Cellulose insulation in place.
Insulated Dams
Dr. Energy Saver has completed the Insulated Dams to hold the new Cellulose Insulation in. These damns help create a walkway to the HVAC Unit as well as create storage space for the homeowner.
Cellulose Insulation
The TruSoft Cellulose Insulation has been installed into the Insulated Dams. This allows the attic to be insulated while also creating space for storage.
