Photo Album: Attic Encapsulation

A family in Brentwood was frustrated with uncomfortable rooms in their home during extreme weather. They could not get temperatures consistent across the home. Ready for a solution to their thermostat, battle they called Frontier for a FREE inspection.

Attic Vents

Attic vents are like open windows in your home. Our homes breath from the bottom up, pulling the conditioned air up and out through any open spaces.

Air Leaks

Even the smallest of holes change the pressure and create air leaks.

A little Persective

The insulation in this attic was not adequate. In some areas the ceiling below was visible but in others the insulation was only as deep as the joists.

Cleaned up

All cleaned up ready for air sealing.

Proper R-value

Correctly insulated this family will save over 10% on energy bills.

Insulated Attic Door

Conditioned air is also lost through the attic access door. Insulating that entry area will cut back on those drafts and air leaks.

Attic Access

The attic access door is now insulated and covered. Less drafts, less heat loss and not visually distracting.

Air Seal Lights, Vents, and Fans

Covering lights and sealing with ZypFoam around the covers and all small holes before adding the blown in insulation is essential to a good encapsulation.
