Here is an example of hot wall that we see in many homes in the metroplex. We have just pulled the very thin fiberglass batts off of the wall and you can see all of the openings and gaps where hot/cold air seeps into the conditioned space. Above the ladder was a 10" gap between the ceiling and the upper attic floor. At the time of the picture the attic temperature was 125 degrees and this adjacent room was always uncomfortable in all seasons.

This is the same hot wall coated with 5 inches of foam. We achieved superior insulation (R-30 equivalent) and an air barrier in one step. This customer noticed an immediate difference in comfort in this room.

"We could never cool down our baby’s bedroom below 85 degrees because he was surrounded by attic hot walls on 3 sides. After Kangaroo blew foam on the walls we were finally able to keep it cool at 78 degrees. I would highly recommend this type of foam to any customer with hot or cold rooms in their home. It made a dramatic difference in our home, and now our baby finally sleeps through the night without sweating!"

This is an example of a typical kneewall in your home. It is covered with R-11 fiberglass batts that many times are missing, compressed or falling out of their cavity. Not only does it lack enough insulation, there is no air barrier to the hot/cold attic.	This is the same knee wall and we removed the batted insulation and blew in two part polyurethane foam. In one step we provided increased insulation (R-20) and tight air barrier. The amount of energy and air transfered from the attic will be significanly reduced.

Many homes we inspect have an open chase next to their brick chimney. All that is between this customer and the hot/cold attic is 1/2 inch of drywall! This is also an opportunity to use two part foam and seal this area off from the attic.	Although this home has enough insulation (R-49) its overall effectiveness is degraded by the open area we can see next to the brick chimney. Even a small area can cause a 20% or more reduction in insulation's overall value!
Many homes have a walk in attic area with a large gap around the door frame. Hot/cold air can pour into the home, effectively a 1.36 square foot hole into your home!	We filled this gap with polyurthane expanding foam which primarily prevents air infiltration but also provides some insulating value. The hot wall or vertical wall around this door has an air barrier but many that we see do not.
