Energy Solutions: Boosting Your Attic Insulation
Boosting the amount of insulation in your attic significantly reduces energy costs, saving you money year-round. It also protects your home from gradual damage caused by heat and moisture and prevents ice dams from forming during the winter.
Energy Solutions is available in a wide variety of thicknesses and R-values. To determine the best choice for your attic, identify your climate zone and consult your state’s building codes. Then, use an online calculator to calculate how much insulation you need to achieve the recommended R-Value for your home.
The Benefits of Choosing Energy Solutions for Attic Insulation
Fiberglass batt insulation is popular for attics because it is affordable and easily installed. It is available in a variety of R-values and can be cut to fit around ductwork, vents, and other obstructions. It offers good thermal performance and helps to dampen noise.
Cellulose blown-in insulation is made from recycled paper treated with fire retardants and is a great alternative to fiberglass batts. It can be sprayed into your attic and is effective at filling gaps and covering surfaces evenly. Its downside is that it can settle over time, reducing its R-value. Additionally, it may absorb moisture, which can lead to mold and mildew.
Spray foam insulation is a two-part liquid that expands and forms a solid insulating layer upon curing. It provides an air barrier as well as thermal protection, and it is more durable than other types of insulation. This type of insulation is a bit more expensive than other options, but its long-term energy savings often make it worth the investment.
