Yes! The load capacity of the trusses above attached, enclosed garages with ceiling acces typically have the same capacity requirements as the rest of the residential roof.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends if there is space between ceiling joists. You need at least 24 inches opening between joists for the air cleaner. If you have adequate clearance, an attic crawlspace installation is similar to the drop ceiling scenario. Cut the appropriate sized hole in the ceiling material and finish the edges with the supplied trim. You'll need to use mounting hardware to support the weight of the unit from a suitable part of your building's framework.

The first time the Garage Door Screen is installed, it might take 30 minutes to install. After that, it takes only a minute or so to put up or take down.

Everything needed to install your screen is included. Hook and self-adhesive loop fastener, screen, and directions.

Replacing your garage door is like working on your car, therefore, some mechanical expertise is necessary. Carefully study the parts and installation instructions before you remove your old door. Garage doors because of their size can be heavy and a helper should be recruited before you start. Allow yourself a day to complete the job which will include hauling away the old door.

Most building codes do not allow for your clother dryer vent to terminate any where other that the exterior of the structure. Vent termination in an attic or garage is not acceptable and should be corrected as soon as possible.

The attic fan should be centrally located. The fan should be mounted at the rear part of your roof. The hole should be 24 inches down from the peak of your roof.

All RecoupAerator® models are fully insulated and may be installed in uninsulated spaces. It is advisable, however, to install the unit in a space that makes it convenient to clean and periodically maintain the unit. Electric baseboard heaters are individual room heaters. They are available in varying lengths and are fastened to the wall near the floor. Each room has its own thermostat that can be wall mounted or unit mounted. The unit operates on a 240-volt current and is hard-wired (i.e.

Make the site unattractive to Mother Squirrel by using several of these tips: Leave lights on; Place a portable radio nearby set to a rock station, turning the volume on high; Knot up some rags or old socks, sprinkle them generously with ammonia and place them around the area. Without damaging the nest, gently move it 3-5" with a broom, so the mother knows it's been disturbed. Squirrels usually have an alternative nest site to which they can move their babies.

Even friends (and the space they can offer) have their limits. Can you be sure everything is 100% safe and accessible? And how secure, clean and dry is your garage? Will everything fit in? (How about your car?!)

Finishing off an existing attic, basement, or garage may seem like a great way to create more living space, but it is important to do some 'homework' first. Check on the zoning and building requirments early in the process. You will save a lot of time and money knowing about County building standards in advance. Existing conditions could make it expensive, difficult, or even impossible for you to change your attic, basement, or garage into living space.

Most animals gain access through pre-existing holes in rotten wood or loose panels. An animal usually opts to take up residence in your attic or garage because it wants a dark, quiet, warm place where it can be undisturbed. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to convince the animal to relocate. If it is winter, we recommend leaving the animal alone until the season warms; it may have a hard time finding a new home.

Squirrels of any kind must either be excluded from reentering once they leave the attic, or they can be trapped and relocated. The site where they entered must be located and sealed. Squirrels can be difficult to trap in attics and you may want to consult a wildlife animal removal company for assistance (consult your Yellow Pages). copy; 2007 The Terminix International Company Limited Partnership.

Most homeowners find it easiest to use batt insulation. Always use unfaced batts, as the paper of foil vapor retarder can trap water vapor in the original insulation, causing moisture problems. If possible, install the new insulation perpendicular to the attic floor joists to reduce heat loss through the joists. Loose fiberglass or cellulose can also be used, by pouring it and leveling it with a board or other implement.

All installations are undertaken by our own employed, factory-trained, fitters, who are constantly under going further training, thus ensuring all installations are of the highest standard.

No. While we do install many garage floor systems every week, we also offer great systems for basements, walkways, patios, and pool-decks. For outside areas, such as pool-decks or patios, we have beautiful RiverRock Surfacing that has to be seen to be believed. This is a natural stone product that lasts forever and is much more cost efficient than stamped concrete or brick pavers.

Sure you can, if you are experienced in the installation of garage doors and their components. Garage doors can weigh up to 400 pounds, and the springs they use are in extreme tension, so it is pretty dangerous. Professional installers will ensure that the job is done correctly, and more importantly, you will not be personally exposed to danger. Furthermore, professional installers offer warranties on their labor, so if you have any problems later, you will be covered.

Since this environment is prone to more dust and airborne particles and may have varnish, paint or other odors present, caution is recommended. Steffes Corporation does not recommend ETS in these types of environments. Return to index

The Attic is located at Surfside Presbyterian Church on the second level of the new hall (the one perpendicular to bypass 17).

Torsion springs are under high tension. Unwinding standard torsion springs requires specific tools and training. Due to the dangerous nature of this process, we recommend you contact a local door dealer to remove the tension from the springs.

Our chain and belt drive garage door openers require approximately 4 inches of space between the ceiling and the highest travel point of your door.  Our screw drive models require approximately six inches of space between the ceiling and the highest travel point of your door. To find out if you have the amount of clearance required, manually open your door so that the top rollers are in the radius of the track and the top of the door is at its highest point.

You have two choices. You can drill the concrete and anchor the unit with the suggested anchors or you can get a "Door and Wall Kit" and mount it above or on top of the ledge. Yes! It will work as we have stated or package it up and ship it back to use for a full refund your purchase price.

That's almost a judgement call on your part. If you live in a hot climate, the roof would be better. If you live in a cold climate, the attic floor would be better. But there are a couple of factors to consider. If you install No-Tear on the roof, you also need to cover the gable ends (that's the part that looks like a big triangle). If you live in a cold climate, installing it on the attic floor will also reduce winter heat loss (see "What if I can't get the best air gap?").

One problematic technique is to put radiant barrier directly on the underside of the roof sheeting. What happens in any attic that is not extremely well ventilated is that the surface of the radiant barrier gets very hot and the heat is conducted and convected into the air of the attic causing the attic and its insulation to get quite hot.

No! Installing a humidifier in a potentially freezing environment, no matter what type or brand, could cause serious water damage to your house.

The most effective way to install a radiant barrier in an existing attic is simply to staple the foil material to the underside of the top chord of the roof trusses or to the underside of the roof decking. It's not very easy to work in any attic space, even one with a steep roof pitch. Keep in mind that any misstep could be disastrous, since most attic floors are not really floors at all.

Yes in most cases you can. It is not recommend if your insulation is contaminated by vermin, moist, or mildewed.

Only if you have un-sealed gaps between your attic and your living space. Such gaps are often found in closets, around light fixtures, and around utilities such as electrical outlets, pipes, etc.
