Your attic is one of the largest sources of energy loss in your home. Energy Solutions can help stabilize indoor temperatures and save you hundreds of dollars per year on utility bills. It can also prevent heat from absorbing the attic floor and causing sagging over time, slow down the formation of ice dams in winter, and protect the structure of your roof.
Fiberglass batt or roll insulation is a common and budget-friendly option. It comes in pre-cut batts or rolls, making it easy to install between the joists and rafters in your attic. Alternatively, you can use cellulose or mineral wool blown in loose-fill insulation. Both offer good thermal and sound insulation, are made with recycled materials, and are environmentally friendly.
Attic Insulation and Comfort: What Energy Solutions Wants You to Know
Blown-in insulation, also called loose-fill insulation, is installed by using a blowing machine to spray the material evenly over attic surfaces. It’s available in cellulose, mineral wool, and fiberglass. It offers excellent coverage, provides high R-value, and reduces noise transmission between floors and walls. But it can settle over time, lowering its R-value, and may absorb moisture, leading to mold and mildew. It’s best to hire a professional for this installation, as the process is messy and requires special equipment.
Spray foam insulation is a two-part liquid that expands to fill gaps and crevices. It has a higher R-value than other insulation types and can act as an air barrier, sealing leaks. It’s most commonly used in commercial projects but can be installed in attics and other areas where it won’t need to be accessed.
