Dense Pack Cellulose in Front Royal, VA

Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 by John LeVan

Challenge

This Front Royal, VA homeowner had an uninsulated second floor cathedral ceiling and a bump out cantilever that was also uninsulated.

Solution

We chose to dense pack these areas with cellulose in order to provide a thermal barrier with limited disruption inside the house.

Tough work due to how high the work was off ground level.
