Job completed for Attic Roof Deck and Gable Wall Insulation in Nancy, KY

Our crew insulated the roof deck with 6 inches of open-cell foam, sealing off the ridge, gable and soffit vents. The gable end walls were insulated with open-cell foam as well, sealing off the gable vents. The result is an airtight thermal cap on the home, rated at about 95% efficiency.

Why attics lose energy in Nancy, KY

On a muggy summer day around Nancy, any cool surface, whether a duct, a subfloor or a metal roof panel, can collect condensation. Heat rises and escapes through the attic, and in a vented attic outside air can flow right through the insulation, so loose fiberglass often performs far below its rating. Air leaks around light fixtures, chimneys, plumbing penetrations and attic hatches pull conditioned air into the attic, where it can condense on cold roof sheathing in winter. Spraying foam on the underside of the roof deck makes the attic part of the conditioned space, so the ducts and equipment in it work in a much milder environment.
