Second-Floor Comfort Restored with Super Kneewall Insulation in Neptune, NJ

In Neptune, NJ, a homeowner struggled with second-floor rooms that were too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. During our free home evaluation, we found poorly insulated kneewalls that let cold air leak in during winter and allowed radiant heat to enter in summer. This left the rooms uncomfortable and the storage space unusable. To solve the problem, we built a Super Kneewall by installing SilverGlo foam boards between the attic joist bays, sealing air leaks and preventing cold floors. We then added SilverGlo foam boards under the rafters with a radiant barrier that reflects heat away in summer and holds warmth in during winter. The result was proper insulation, consistent comfort, improved energy efficiency, and usable storage space.
