Insulation Services Photo Album: Making a garage more comfortable in New Cumberland, WV 26047

Barbara wanted to make her garage more comfortable throughout the year. Like many attached garages, the exterior walls had little or no effective insulation, allowing outside temperatures to easily transfer into the space. During the summer, the garage became excessively hot, while winter temperatures made it cold and uncomfortable to use.   Beyond affecting the garage itself, poorly insulated garage walls can also impact the rooms adjacent to or above the garage. Those spaces often experience uneven temperatures because heat and cold easily move through uninsulated wall cavities.   Our team insulated the exterior walls of the garage using a dense-pack insulation system designed to completely fill the wall cavities. Unlike traditional batt insulation that can leave gaps, dense-pack insulation conforms around wiring, pipes, and framing members, creating a more complete thermal barrier.   By reducing heat transfer through the walls, the garage is now better protected from extreme outdoor temperatures. The improvement also helps reduce the workload on the home's heating and cooling system while making nearby living spaces more comfortable.     Now Barbara has a garage that stays more comfortable throughout the seasons while improving the overall energy performance of the home.
