Attic Insulation Upgrade

Revitalizing a Historic Home: Attic Insulation Upgrade in Upper Makefield

In Upper Makefield, PA, a meticulously maintained home built in the early 1800s recently received a crucial upgrade to its attic insulation. The homeowner, committed to preserving the integrity and comfort of this historic property, opted for open-cell foam to insulate the attic space.

The need for insulation arose after the homeowner updated the heating and cooling system to a high-velocity setup with small, flexible ducts, installed directly in the attic. To ensure this new system operated efficiently and to transform the attic into a semi-conditioned space, we sprayed open-cell foam along the rafters and gables, sealing all penetrations. This process included removing outdated blown-in insulation and clearing remnants of small animal nests and debris, which had accumulated over decades.

By filling the 2×6 rafters and covering the face of the joists completely with open-cell foam, we created an optimally insulated attic. This upgrade not only enhances the home’s energy efficiency but also maintains a consistent temperature throughout, ensuring the historic charm of the house is matched by modern living comfort.
