This Amston, CT homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services concerned about their attic space. They were using this space for storage, but it wasn't energy efficient. Their attic floor was allowing air from inside the house to leak into the attic where it was lost. For each cubic foot of air that leaks out, a cubic foot of air from the outside enters the bottom of the house, making the lower levels cold and drafty. Their attic was a hostile environment because of the increased cold in the winter and very uncomfortable heat in the summer in this space. To combat this issue, Fogarty's Home Services installed our SuperAttic™ system. We use SilverGlo™ EPS foam insulation board with graphite on the underside of the roof deck. The graphite gives it superior R-value and a foil face on both sides reflects heat out in summer and back in during winter. The roof is still vented. No harsh chemicals are sprayed in your home, like spray foam. The attic is now part of the conditioned space in the home, and ducts in the attic are no longer in a hostile environment. The attic is clean, less dusty and suitable for storage. We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!
