Top > Insulation > Bonus Rooms Over Garages

Question:

Our house is 6 years old. The room above the garage is very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer. What options do we have in correcting this problem?

Answer:

If the room is very cold in winter and hot in summer then, the problem more than likely is with the insulation and the intergrity of the vapor barrier in the floor of that room/garage ceiling. The best solution would be to use Icynene, a product that completely air seals. Therefore eliminating mass air transfer in that location, which accounts for the majority of a homes heating/cooling cost. Call me for further questions or concerns, regarding Icynene Insulation System. Comfort Insulation 613-226-9912
