Stopping Condensation

Proper attic ventilation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable home environment, especially during the hot summer months.Our expert solutions include the installation of baffles, solar attic fans, and bath fan exhausts, all designed to promote fresh air flow and effectively reduce extreme temperatures in the attic.By improving attic ventilation, we help create a cooler and more comfortable living space for you and your family.

Green Attic Insulation Can Help!

Thermal Barrier

Create a protective layer against heat transfer, improving energy efficiency and maintaining comfortable temperatures.

Moisture Barrier

Safeguard against moisture intrusion, preventing water damage, and mold growth, and maintaining a healthier indoor environment.

Pressure Barrier

Enhance structural integrity by preventing air infiltration and reducing drafts, ensuring a more airtight and energy-efficient space.

Surface Temperature Differences Create Condensation When Vapor Passes Through

Temperatures differ between interior and exterior, these temperatures bring vapor in the form of moisture. This is a common example of window condensation in winter. If the window is wood ( organic surface) it can easily be affected by mold and eventually rot.

Keeping the surface temperature above dew point will help reduce condensation. Common locations for condensation are:

✓ Attic Can Lights
✓ Cathedral Ceilings
✓ Bath Fan Exhausts
✓ Bedroom Windows

Dehumidifiers & Ventilation

For more comfortable and consistent indoor temperature control, optimum energy efficiency, insulation does well, but it leads to another problem humidity relative to outside temperature and air flow.

Imagine a cave with no wind or breeze, no sunlight, and no air movement, it would be wet, damp, soggy, moist year round; now imagine just the opposite, a healthy ventilated sunlit fresh air temperature controlled room.

✓ Ventilation to prevent high humidity
✓ Vapor barrier / moisture barrier
✓ Correct R-Value Per Inch For Cavity
✓ Air Leakage Reduction / Air Flow Reduction

Vapor Barrier: Advanced Moisture Control

The Vapor Barrier should be on the warm side of the room in Chicago winter’s, but the location of the vapor barrier varies in other climates around the US.

Air should not pass through the building envelope into the wall cavity through unintentional gaps on the buildings envelope. A Sealed Cavity is essential and supplemental to insulation.

Romuno and his team came on time and were very cordial and friendly. They discovered

an issue with some electrical work while working on the insulation, which I was surprised and happy about, and were able to rectify the situation easily and at a great value, considering the timing of the project, etc. Romuno made it clear he want to ensure my satisfaction throughout the process. When finished, the job site was cleaned very well. I highly recommend this company and all its team members and hope to do more projects in the future with them!
