Walls and Attic of Church Insulated in Litchfield, OH
Challenge
This church, located in Litchfield, was struggling to keep the outside air out. This was causing high utility bills and an uncomfortable congregation. They researched around to find who was their local insulation expert to help fix this issue once and for all. The Customer Care Representative made sure to quickly schedule a free in-home estimate.
The inspector arrived to the estimate and began assessing the walls and attic. By using a thermal gun and climbing into the attic, he noticed both were under-insulated. He sat down with the customer and explained how he came to that conclusion and how our insulation products and process works. They were so excited to get the work done and improve the conditions of the church!
Solution
On the day of the install, the wall and attic crew arrived to the church and began working. The attic crew began by prepping the attic space by installing baffles. Baffles are important in an attic space because it redirect air flow away from the home. Once done with this step, they worked on blowing in Tru-Soft cellulose insulation. Tru-Soft cellulose is a dense, mold-resistant product that resists heat flow through it. Resisting unwanted heat flow is important to retaining the best R-Value possible. Drafts and outside air will now have a difficult time getting through.
The wall crew started their work by drilling small holes along only a few sections of the aluminum siding. They made sure they can access each wall cavity and insulate under and above the windows. Once drilled, the installers began injecting RetroFoam insulation into the walls. RetroFoam is a tripolymer resin that comes out like shaving cream and hardens after 48 hours. Once hardened, RetroFoam provides a draft-resistant, high R-Value solution without the mess of a remodel. After the wall crew was finished injecting, they sealed the holes and all that is left to do is re-paint parts of the siding! RetroFoam is a great product for existing walls and will never settle!
The church is now fully insulated and will be a comfortable space all year around!
