Adding spray foam insulation can greatly reduce your energy consumption and home comfort issues. Because heat naturally rises, uninsulated lofts or attics are often the source of hot or cold spots in a home or office building, forcing air conditioning and heating systems to work harder. This wastes energy, increases your electric and heating bills, and contributes to climate change.
To prevent costly energy waste, you can insulate your attic by laying fiberglass rolls or cellulose (made from recycled paper) on the floor and between the joists. Both of these are popular choices for insulating an attic because they are inexpensive and available in a variety of R-values to suit your needs. They’re also easily installed by homeowners or contractors.
Prevent Heat Loss with Professional Attic Insulation
Loose-fill or blown-in insulation is another option for insulating an attic. This insulation is blown into attic spaces with special equipment and is available in materials like cellulose, mineral wool, and fiberglass. This type of insulation can be easily added around and between attic obstacles and provides maximum energy efficiency.
Reflective or radiant barrier insulation consists of a reflective aluminum film and substrate and is installed in attics, primarily to reduce heat gain. It’s effective in warmer climates and is easy to install, but requires an air gap to function properly. It can also deteriorate over time, lose R-values, and become dusty quickly.
Spray foam is one of the best attic insulation options because it can be applied directly to the attic surface and fills gaps and crevices. It can be sprayed on walls and floors as well, but must be installed by professional installers due to its chemical handling requirements.
