If you are looking for an easy and cost-effective way to improve your home’s energy efficiency, attic insulation is a great place to start. Insulating your attic will keep warm air in during the winter and cool air in during the summer, significantly reducing the burden on your heating and cooling systems. This can lead to lower utility bills month after month and substantial long-term monetary savings.
Spray foam insulation can lead to inconsistent temperatures throughout your house, forcing your heating system to work overtime and making some rooms feel warmer or colder than others. This is typically due to the fact that hot and cold air can seep through cracks, gaps and loose areas in your attic. Resetting your attic’s insulation, and adding new materials will help to regulate indoor temperature and ensure a comfortable and usable space year-round.
Choosing the Right Type of Insulation
There are several different types of attic insulation, each with their own benefits and applications. Consider factors such as soundproofing, fire resistance, insect control and susceptibility to moisture when choosing the type of insulation for your home.
Traditional fiberglass batt insulation is made from fine glass fibers and comes in pre-cut panels that are installed by rolling over attic joists. It is affordable, quick and simple to install, but may settle over time reducing its effectiveness. Blown in fiberglass insulation is a more advanced, environmentally friendly option that can offer superior R-Value and air sealing. Closed cell spray foam is a highly effective insulator with a high R-Value and acts as an air barrier, effectively filling and sealing leaks. It is more expensive than other insulation options and requires professional installation due to its chemical handling.
