Settled fiberglass in older Willow Creek attics
Why it happens here
Fiberglass batts lose thickness over time, especially when they are walked on or compressed by storage. In Willow Creek Estates, where attics are used for storage, the insulation is often flattened to half its original depth. That drops the R-value from 19 to 8 or less.
Our approach
We do not just add more batts on top. We air-seal the attic floor first, then blow in cellulose to bring the total to R-49. That gives you a uniform, settled-resistant layer that will not compress. The job takes one day for most Willow Creek homes.
