Client Location: Queens Village, NY
Project Type: Attic Exterior Wall Insulation
Service Provider: Zavza Seal LLC
Client Concern
A homeowner in Queens Village, NY reached out to Zavza Seal LLC to address inadequate insulation in their attic space. The angled walls were already insulated and sheetrocked, but two exterior walls and the walls along the steps leading to the attic were poorly insulated. The homeowner wanted a solution that would maximize energy efficiency, reduce outside noise, and improve overall indoor comfort without compromising the existing structure.
Observation and Diagnosis
Our inspection confirmed that the existing insulation in the targeted exterior walls was insufficient. This contributed to significant heat loss in winter, heat gain in summer, and higher energy bills. The clientβs attic walls had no direct access for insulation upgrades, which meant a specialized approach was required.
Our Solution
To provide an effective and lasting solution, our team proposed the installation of dense packed cellulose insulation in the specified attic walls. The process involved:
- Drilling Access Holes Between Studs
We carefully drilled access holes in the walls to allow for the insulation process without causing structural damage. - Blow-In Insulation Application
Dense packed cellulose insulation was blown into the wall cavities to achieve an R-value of 15, ensuring optimal thermal performance. - Patching and Finishing
After insulation, all access holes were patched, taped, and compounded to prepare the surface for future painting by the homeowner.
Materials and Benefits
The insulation product used was environmentally friendly, fire resistant (meeting Class 1 fire rating), and Gold Certified for healthier indoor air quality. The benefits of this installation include:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Reduced heat loss in winter and minimized heat gain in summer.
- Noise Reduction: Significant decrease in outside noise for a quieter home environment.
- Moisture Resistance: Added protection against water damage and mold growth.
- Eco-Friendly: Safe for occupants and sustainable for the environment.
Project Outcome
The attic exterior wall insulation project in Queens Village, NY was completed successfully. The homeowner noticed immediate improvements in indoor comfort and noise reduction. Over time, they are expected to see reduced energy costs and improved climate control within the home.
