Improving Insulation - Photos & Ideas

SE Denver Ranch Home | James Hardie Board & Batten

This 1970s ranch home in South East Denver was roasting in the summer and freezing in the winter. It was also time to replace the wood composite siding throughout the home. Since Colorado Siding Repair was planning to remove and replace all the siding, we proposed that we install OSB underlayment and insulation under the new siding to improve it’s heating and cooling throughout the year. After we addressed the insulation of their home, we installed James Hardie ColorPlus® fiber cement siding in Grey Slate with Arctic White trim. James Hardie offers ColorPlus® Board & Batten. We installed Board & Batten in the front of the home and Cedarmill HardiPlank® in the back of the home. Fiber cement siding also helps improve the insulative value of any home because of the quality of the product and how durable it is against Colorado’s harsh climate. We also installed James Hardie beaded porch panel for the ceiling above the front porch to complete this home exterior make over. We think that this 1970s ranch home looks like a dream now with the full exterior remodel. What do you think?

The glass used for the project was frameless, made of a single pane. A U-channel was used to reinforce the glass panels, and insulation materials were added within the U-channel to improve insulation for the modern glass wine cellar.

HOT Second Floor

Ecotelligent Homes

We recently helped a family improve the comfort of their upstairs bedrooms. The Plymouth Township family could feel the temperature change as they walked up the stairs to the 2nd floor. It was so hot in the summer that they were having trouble sleeping at night. During our Comprehensive Home Energy Audit we found that their attic insulation was damaged and their home had several air leaks that allowed the hot attic air to push into the house. Our skilled install team removed the damaged attic insulation, air sealed the attic floor and added blown cellulose insulation to ENERGY STAR standards. We also sealed all of the accessible joints and seams in the duct work to prevent the cool air from leaking out of the ducts before it could reach bedrooms upstairs. They are now enjoying even temperatures between the 1st and 2nd floor, and a more comfortable night’s sleep. Contact Ecotelligent Homes today to schedule your Home Energy Audit to discover how we can improve your comfort and help you get a good nights sleep this summer.
