Spray foam insulation is a critical component of a home’s thermal efficiency, providing significant energy savings and comfort. Typically placed between the living areas and the attic, it keeps warm air in during winter and cool air out during summer. It also creates a barrier that helps stabilize temperatures throughout the house and reduce HVAC workload, resulting in lower energy bills.

Regular insulation inspections and timely upgrades help you enjoy a more comfortable home, higher energy efficiency and long term savings. In addition, a properly insulated attic can help to eliminate drafts and moisture, protect against pests, and increase the value of your home.

Is Your Home Ready for Winter? Don’t Overlook Attic Insulation

The first step in evaluating attic insulation is a thorough attic inspection by an experienced professional to identify issues that may affect the performance of new insulation, such as roof damage and compromised rafters. If these aren’t addressed, they can cause leaks that compromise the effectiveness of your new attic insulation.

Once an attic is inspected, the experts at Attic Projects can recommend an optimal solution based on your desired R-value and available attic space. They’ll also consult with you to explore your insulation options, including fiberglass batts or rolled insulation (often called blanket or batt insulation), cellulose, mineral wool and foam board.

Blown-in insulation, which is made up of loose particles of fiberglass, cellulose or mineral wool, is more cost effective than some other types and is especially popular with DIY homeowners. However, it can settle over time, reducing its R-value and is not as fire-resistant as other types. It is also not as moisture-resistant as some other options.
