Settled insulation in older attics
Why it happens here
Most homes in Cold Springs Hollow were built before 1990 with fiberglass batt. Over decades, the batt compresses under its own weight and from foot traffic. Settling reduces the R-value by 30% or more, leaving the top plate of your walls exposed to cold air.
Our approach
We remove the settled material, air-seal the attic floor, and blow in cellulose to the correct depth. We mark the target R-value on the joists so you can see the improvement.
