Attic Insulation For Efficiency
When many homeowners think of attic insulation, they picture the pink or yellow rolls that are shoved between attic joists. These traditional options do a fine job of keeping home temperatures stable and helping to cut energy costs, but for top-tier efficiency that can help with moisture levels and air quality, closed-cell spray foam insulation is hard to beat.
The benefits of an attic insulation are significant and can be realized in many ways. It helps keep warm air in the winter and cool air in the summer, reducing the work required by your heating and cooling systems. It also provides a significant return on investment in terms of increased resale value.
Choosing the Right Insulation
Before you invest in an attic insulation upgrade, make sure that your attic is clean and ready for installation. You’ll want to remove any boxes or other storage items that could be sitting directly on the insulation, compressing it and reducing its effectiveness by up to 50%. It’s also a good idea to check for ENERGY STAR rebates and special financing programs that can make this home improvement project more affordable.
There are several different types of attic insulation to consider, including loose-fill insulation (like cellulose or fiberglass), and batts that come in pre-cut panels that fit snugly between attic joists. When considering your options, keep in mind that the R-value of each type of insulation gives a general indication of its thermal performance.
