Strategic Spray Foam Insulation For Your Attic
Attic insulation plays a vital role in keeping heat inside and out, maintaining air quality, and even reducing moisture levels. It’s an effective way to lower energy bills and boost home value.
But a lack of knowledge about the benefits, higher upfront costs, and building codes can keep homeowners from insulating their homes. To help them overcome these obstacles, installers can offer free energy rebates that make insulating their homes more affordable. They can also educate them on the long-term savings and comfort that will result from their investment.
Strategic Spray Foam Insulation: Maximizing Your Attic’s Potential
Whether or not you’re an insulation expert, calculating the square footage of your attic space is easy enough. Use a measuring tape to measure the width and length of each wall in your attic, and multiply the results by two to find the total square footage.
Once you know how much attic space you have, it’s time to figure out what type of insulation you need. There are several different types of insulation, including blankets and loose fill, as well as rigid foam boards. Blanket insulation is made from fiberglass, natural and synthetic fibers, mineral wool, or cellulose, and comes in rolls or pre-cut panels called batts. It can be rolled or blown in and is easy to install. It is available in a variety of R-values to suit your climate.
Loose-fill is made of small particles that are blown into your attic space using a special machine. It can be a good choice for hard-to-reach areas or spaces with unique layouts. It’s usually composed of cellulose, which is eco-friendly, or fiberglass. It may contain fire retardants. Rigid foam is constructed from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane and comes in boards that are installed against the attic’s structural components. It can be open- or closed-cell, and has a high R-value per inch and provides excellent air sealing. It is more expensive than other types of insulation, and professional installation is recommended.
