Attic Insulation Removal & SuperAttic Upgrade - Glenview, IL

This Glenview homeowner was experiencing temperature swings, poor attic usability, and limited storage space—common issues caused by outdated insulation and vented attic conditions.

We completed a targeted attic upgrade designed to improve energy efficiency, home comfort, and usable storage space.

First, we carefully removed existing cellulose insulation only in the areas required to extend the attic decking, preserving the remaining insulation wherever possible.

Next, we converted the space into a SuperAttic system by installing 4" SilverGlo foam board along the roof rafters. The system was fully air sealed using Zyp Foam to create an airtight, conditioned attic. This approach helps reduce energy loss, improve indoor comfort year-round, and maintain proper roof ventilation by keeping the roof deck cold in winter.

Finally, we installed and extended attic decking to both the front and back of the attic, creating safe, functional storage space for the homeowner.
