Air Sealed Skylight Tunnel in Greenbelt, MD

Cold and drafty rooms are no fun for anyone. These homeowners decided to be proactive and get their attic weatherized before it started getting really cold. Of course, Complete Home Solutions was more than happy to help them in this effort. 

We took a few different measures in order to take care of this attic (air sealing, insulating, etc). Pictured here specifically is how we treated the skylight. The way the skylight was insulated before was not really doing much of anything. When we performed our initial home energy audit, our home comfort specialist found that the skylight did indeed have bad air leakage (making it a source for discomfort in the home). We took care of this by replacing the old insulation with new closed cell spray foam insulation (which air seals at the same time). This skylight won't be leaking any more air!
