Attic Insulation

Make your home more comfortable If your attic insulation was installed some time ago, improving your home's insulating system is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to increase energy efficiency and comfort in your home. By investing in proper insulation and weatherization products, you can reduce your heating and cooling costs. Adding insulation to your home The easiest way to insulate your home is to add insulation to your attic. To find out if you have enough attic insulation, measure the thickness. If there is less than R-32 (11"-13"), you could benefit by adding more. If your attic has enough insulation but your home feels drafty and cold in the winter (or too warm in the summer), you will need to do some air sealing. Choosing the insulation you need Loose-fill insulation, usually made of fiberglass and wool , is blown into the attic or walls with high-powered equipment. Rigid foam boards, made of extruded or expanded polystyrene, are used in confined spaces such as exterior walls, basements, foundation and stem walls and cathedral ceilings. Moisture problems in your attic Proper attic ventilation is important to reduce dampness that can lead to wood rot and the formation of mould and mildew. Through a combination of proper insulation, air sealing and ventilation you can help prolong the life of your roof!
