Insulation Services Photo Album: Making rooms over the garage more comfortable year-round in Carnegie, PA 15106

Jessica reached out because the rooms above the garage were much colder in the winter than the rest of the home. This is one of the most common comfort issues we see in two-story homes.   Garages are typically unconditioned spaces, which means the rooms above them are constantly exposed to colder temperatures below. If the garage ceiling isn’t properly sealed and insulated, those floors can become cold and uncomfortable very quickly.   Our team air sealed the garage ceiling and installed dense-pack TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout the cavity system.   Dense-pack insulation is especially effective in garage ceiling applications because it completely fills the cavities and restricts airflow inside the floor system itself. Instead of leaving gaps or loose areas, the insulation is packed to the proper density to create a stronger thermal barrier.   Now the rooms over the garage stay noticeably warmer in the winter and feel much more consistent with the rest of the home.
