Photo Album: New Attic Insulation in Gambrills, MD

The owner of this beatiful home in Gambrills, Maryland had just moved in and was looking for some new remodeling work to get done. Before any of that, though, he knew that he needed to get his home properly insulated. He remembered hearing about Complete Home Solutions and decided to call us up. We crawled up to the attic and saw that there was no insulation at all, leaving us the perfect opportunity to do what we do best...make his home comfortable!

Attic Hatch Has No Insulation

Attic openings are large areas that allow both air infiltration and serve as a major thermal bypass. This opening has nothing to keep it from leaking air.

Attic Hatch Get New Attic Tent

We installed weather stripping around the hatch cover and caulked the framing joints. We also installed an attic tent (that aluminum looking material) over the opening in order to better insulate the space.

Attic Is Completely Empty

The attic has absolutely no insulation which leaves the home without any energy efficiency or comfort.

Attic Is Filled With Cellulose Insulation

We insulated the home with TruSoft Cellulose. This was able to keep the home at a stable temperature, reducing heating & cooling bills throughout the year.

No Air Sealing & No Insulation

Here's another angle at the attic before we installed any insulation. As you can see, there is nothing preventing the cold and hot air from passing right through.

New Insulation to Keep This Home Warm

The TruSoft Cellulose also serves as a great soundproofing material along with the fantastic insulation that it provides.

Attic Ruler Shows No Insulation

Just to put it in perspective, here's a ruler measuring the insulation levels in the attic (obviously right now there's nothing to measure).

Here's what the insulation measures up to after we're done. The insulation levels are now at R-49, which is the recommended standard by BPI for our climate zone.
