Your attic is an important area of your home to insulate, because it helps to keep conditioned air inside your house and can help prevent energy waste. Proper attic insulation can also alleviate problems like drafts and ice dams in the winter.
Attic spray foam insulation comes in many forms, from fiberglass batts and cellulose to loose-fill fiberglass or cellulose, foam board insulation, spray or blown-in foam, and even a special type of closed-cell spray polyurethane foam. These different insulation types all offer unique advantages and benefits, but it is best to contact a professional for the installation of attic insulation. They can advise you on the type of insulation that will work best for your particular situation and provide a detailed, thorough attic cleaning before installing insulation.
When insulating your attic, it is vital that the professionals you hire use proper safety precautions and know how to identify and address any issues that may arise during installation. For example, if your attic has active knob and tube wiring, this should not be covered or disturbed during insulation, as it could lead to a dangerous fire hazard. Additionally, if your attic insulation is blocked by vents or other structures, it can reduce its effectiveness.
Save Money on Energy Bills with Proper Attic Insulation
In addition, some insulation types, such as spray foam, require special equipment and training to install properly. It is important to have a professional inspect your attic before and after insulation, to ensure that the recommended R-value has been achieved and that there are no areas where moisture or pests can penetrate the attic and damage the roofing.
