Attic Insulation
Attic insulation is a cost-effective and easy-to-install upgrade. It prevents conditioned air from escaping through the roof, creating more consistent temperatures throughout your home and reducing your energy bills. This savings may also allow you to invest in additional home upgrades, such as a new roof or windows.
AFT Insulation is available in a wide range of R-values, depending on your location and climate. For instance, a colder climate requires a higher R-value than a warmer one. During your attic insulation project, the experts will carefully measure the size of your attic and determine how much insulation you need. They will then install the appropriate amount of insulation in the attic space.
Before insulating your attic, it is important to check for and repair any leaks. A well-insulated attic will help prevent snow melt, ice dams and other roofing issues. It is also crucial to make sure that your attic is free of active knob and tube wiring before insulating it, as these wires should not be covered or disturbed during the insulation process.
AFT Insulation’s Guide to Choosing the Right Attic Insulation for Your Home
The professionals who perform your attic insulation installation will wear proper personal protective equipment and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing each type of ENERGY STAR certified insulation. This includes the use of a face mask, eye protection and gloves.
Loose-fill, or blown in, insulation is made of small particles that are blown into your attic space using a blowing machine. This allows the loose-fill insulation to fill gaps and hard-to-reach areas more effectively than fiberglass or mineral wool batts. It is also a great option for attics with lots of obstructions. However, the loose-fill insulation can settle over time, lowering its R-value and causing moisture to form.
