Attic Insulation Case Studies: Attic Storage and Insulation System

Monday, January 2nd, 2017 by John LeVan

Challenge

Customer had a dirty, disoganized attic and was seeking to improve the insulation and to create a clean storage area.

Solution

All insulation was removed, wiring was organized, an unused whole house fan was removed, a pull down attic stairwell was installed to allow easy access, can light covers were installed along with other air sealing strategies and insulated "Super Deck" storage deck was installed.

In the end the customer ended up with an efficient attic, a clean storage deck that was easy to access.

Project Summary

Installer: Ulises Rivas

Beginning Insulation level - not acceptable!

Wires, Dirt, Ductowrk it was all a huge inefficient disorganized mess!

Wires everywhere. Several uncovered junction boxes as well. An electrician was hored to come and organize this mess and make it safe!

This whole House Attic Fan was not working and was extremely leaky.

The Whole House attic fan was a huge air leak in the winter time causing significant drafts

Fan Removed and drywall installed

Stairs installed where Scuttle Porthole was before. Allows for easy access.

Insulated Storage Deck (Super Deck Tm). Clean storage deck that is 100 percent air sealed and insulated under the deck. Sweet!
