Comfenergy Before & After Photos

Before and after photos of a covered front porch in Dunn Loring, VA.The homeowner was allergic to the neighbors dryer sheet odors and they were entering her home through this vented covered front porch.  Nothing a little SilverGlo foam boards and one part foam can't solve!!!

In addition to air sealing and insulation the surface of this Annandale VA attic, we needed to treat the walls too.  Removing the old traditional batt insulation was step one.  We then used the orange ZypFoam to seal up and cracks or places when air could come in our out.  Afterwards we cut SilverGlo insulation panels to fit the wall and then used ZypFoam again to seal that.  When the sun hits the outside of this home, this wall will keep the heat from building up on =side of the attic.  

This Lorton, VA homeowner was looking for ways to lower their utility bills.  Comfenergy found a ton of air leakage in the attic allowing the heated and cooled air to leave the home.  This before and after pic set is showing how we air sealed around an air duct that went into the top floor. By closing this gap, we prevent any air travelling between this space. 

This set of before and after photos shows the difference between light, fluffy fiberglass insulation and new TruSoft cellulose insulation in an attic.  Here are the differences you may not know:

1. Fiberglass is more susceptible to something called "wind washing".  In a vented attic assembly wind can blow around in the attic and it can easily pass through the fiberglass.   TruSoft cellulose packs tighter and it's harder for wind to travel through it.

2. Rodents and insects LOVE fiberglass.  They nest in it and make it home.....right above your head.  TruSoft cellulose is chemically washed with a liquid borate which deters rodents and insects by irritating their respiratory system.

3. TruSoft cellulose has a higher R value per inch than fiberglass.

4. TruSoft cellulose is also less succeptible to flame spread than fiberglass as well.....
