Sometimes the first indication of an attic heat problem happens before we even climb through the access. Pull down the stairs or lift the hatch on a sunny Wilmington afternoon, and you can feel the heat sitting above you. Once we’re inside, the roof decking, rafters, ductwork, insulation, wiring, and everything stored up there give us the layout we have to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n Radiant Barrier Installation is designed to reduce radiant heat transfer from the underside of the roof into the attic space. At Crawl Space Ninja, we inspect the attic, determine where the radiant barrier can be installed, work around the existing structure and mechanical components, and install the material in the appropriate location. If your Wilmington attic turns into a heat box whenever the sun comes out, contact us online to schedule an inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n Before installing anything, we need to get into the attic and look around. One Wilmington house may have an open attic where much of the roof structure is accessible, while another gives us a tight path around ductwork, wiring, equipment, storage, or framing. Those differences affect how the radiant barrier installation needs to proceed.<\/span><\/p>\n This can become especially noticeable in Wilmington’s older neighborhoods. Carolina Place developed largely during the early 1900s and contains numerous Craftsman bungalows and other period homes along streets such as Wolcott Avenue, Perry Avenue, Creecy Avenue, and Market Street. We don’t assume what’s inside an attic based on the neighborhood, but older houses can certainly give a technician a different workspace than newer construction.<\/span><\/p>\n That’s why the first part of the service is inspection rather than installation. We need to see the roof structure, existing insulation, ventilation openings, ducts, mechanical equipment, and how much room we actually have to move.<\/span><\/p>\n \nStart With the Attic We Actually Have<\/span><\/h2>\n
