Retrofit insulation is installed in the walls by drilling tiny holes one yard above the floor and one foot below the ceiling. An insulation blower machine or spray foam machine is used to fill the walls with spray foam or any type of loose fill material such as rockwool, fiberglass, cellulose, or denim.
Once the walls have been insulated, a tiny plastic cap is fitted into the hole, and the area is skim coated and repainted to match the wall. Exterior walls of a house can be filled with retrofit insulation by removing the siding, installing the insulation and then covering the area.
The retrofit insulation process consists of these four easy steps:
Before installing retrofit insulation, a certified technician from Comfort 1st Insulation will come to your home and perform a free energy assessment. They will evaluate your attic, walls, floors, and basement for areas that need additional insulation or insulation replacement. Or licensed experts also determine which type of insulation is suitable for your property and the environment.
It is critical to plan ahead of time to ensure that everything is ready for the retrofit insulation installation procedure. To avoid damage, any furniture, floors, or carpets that may be in the way of installing retrofit insulation shall be removed or covered.
Depending on the type of insulation utilized, the actual installation method of retrofit insulation varies. Blown-in insulation is often utilized in retrofit insulation projects, in which specialized equipment is used to blast insulation into walls, floors, or attics.
Another choice is spray foam insulation, which is applied as a spray and then expands to form a strong barrier. Comfort 1st Insulation guarantees that our retrofit insulation is installed with accuracy, skill, and care.
When the installation is completed, Comfort 1st’s certified technicians clean up the work area and dispose of any leftover insulation material. Then the crew performs a final inspection in order to confirm that the retrofit insulation is installed correctly and meets standards.
Retrofit insulation is an efficient solution to increase your home’s energy efficiency while also boosting its overall comfort.
