Air Sealing Photo Album: Air sealing and insulation upgrade in attic in Weirton, WV

Homeowner Nicholas requested a solution to reduce high energy bills and improve comfort in a two-story residence. Inspection revealed significant thermal losses through the attic plane, particularly around the kitchen soffit, bath ceiling, and access points.The scope of work included air sealing and insulating the attic and scuttle cover to better improve the building envelope, using Zypfoam. Prepping and sealing of the metal chimney with FireCaulk and a RockWool sleeve and upgrading and insulation of the ceiling over the shower/bath helped to minimize air transfer.These measures reduced conductive and convective heat loss, improved HVAC performance, and stabilized temperature differentials between floors. The completed project delivers measurable gains in comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency.
