New Canaan, CT
A gorgeous house located in the green hills of New Canaan. The homeowner initially wanted fiberglass installed in his home, but after coming to a home show we managed to convince about spray foam.And here are some of the of second floor walls that have been sprayed and cut but not yet cleaned. Sprayed and cut, still needs to be cleaned and vacuumed.We insulated the roof rafters as opposed to the attic floor keeping the mechanicals inside the envelope. This eliminates duct leakage and reduces the workload of the system during the extreme temperatures of summer and winter.The great thing about open cell foam is its expandability. In rafter bays with duct work, we spray foam behind it and it expands outwork helping to seal up the thermal envelope.Our attention to detail is second-to-none and we make sure to make every house as tight as possible.Notice how there is no overspray on the floors. There is a little trash in the corner that will be bagged up and transported offsite.Try insulating those bays between the windows with fiberglass, very difficult!What a gorgeous view, and with spray foam he can sit up right next to the window in winter while staying warm!Cut, Clean and Ready For Sheetrock... Just the way the sheetrockers like it.By insulating the roof rafters, the attic enters the conditioned space and allows for the area to be finished in the future.

Here is the front of probably the largest house we've ever seen. This house had so many complicated architectural features that there was no way to insulate this house with fiberglass.And here is the back porch of this monstrous house.Insualting this with fiberglass would have probably caused this area not to be insulated at all.Cathedral ceilings in the great room. Mineral wool will be installed around the fireplace for fireblocking.Another example of a insulating the roof rafters as opposed to the attic floor. This allows the area to be finished off later down the road. Also prevents any items in storage from being subject to extreme temperatures.

Here we are at a gorgeous new 15,000 sqft home on the water in Darien.Our crews had a gorgeous view the entire time we were there, it's surprising that this 15,000 square foot house only took 5 days to insulate the thermal and accoustical insulation!We installed mineral wool in all interior walls and ceilings so that the homeowner won't be able to hear his daughter practice Saxophone in the next room.In addition to installing mineral wool in the interior walls, the homeowner wanted as little sound as possible transmitting through the floors so we recommended spraying a few inches of open cell and covering it with 3" Mineral Wool batts.Try insulating those headers and corners with fiberglass!The entire first floor exterior wall facing the water had gorgeous french doors for a beautiful, breezy summer afternoon.Insulate stairwell walls is a good way to attenuate sound when people climb up and down steps, especially with the master bedroom adjacent.Part of our new construction package is to insulate around all window and door jambs with low-expansion can foam.This house was spec'd without ridge vents or soffit vents because we sprayed 9+ inches of 0.8lb Open Cell for an R-40.

This builder and homeowner are big fans of super insulation. They wanted us to spray an R-58 in the roof and R-36 in the walls, that's 13" and 7.5" of 0.8lb Open Cell!One of our workers taking a quick break from cleanup to say Hello.This is the first floor exterior walls at the fron of the house...and the first floor exterior walls of the back of the house.The builder had 2x6 studs strapped horizonatally in most areas with 1x2"s to createa a 7" deep cavity we could spray and significantely reduce thermal bridging to where the studs meet.Prep-work detail is key, especially when dealing with mechanical rooms.Here is a playroom with a flat roof... fill it up with foam!Second floor bedroom adjacent to a bathroom. The mineral wool will help attenuate any sounds from there.13" of foam in a 2x14 cavity... You could probably heat this space with your own body heat. Needless to say, I don't think they'll be experiencing extreme temperatures in their attic.
