Attic Insulation Installation in Richmond, TX

An attic region or a loft as referred by other people in the space beneath the roof of the house and the ceiling of the top floor. This area has to be insulated because it is profoundly affected by the temperatures or weather of the outer environment.

Attic insulation involves using objects that are thermally insulated to cover the attic region of the house. This is the best way to stop heat loss during winter and retain fresh air during summer. The insulation helps maintain energy efficiency in a respective home.

Essence of attic insulation.

Have you noticed unstable temperatures in your home recently? Well, that might be because your attic was not correctly installed. Now, the unpredictable temperatures are one of the results of a poorly insulated attic. This is because of unregulated heat flow and air leaks. Higher AC bills can be a setback in these hard financial times.

For starters, a well-insulated attic will help you save money since there would be a resistance of air that would have otherwise been lost from your home.

Here are a number of various attic insulation types that can be installed in your home:

Blown-in insulation.

This kind of insulation is also referred to as loose-fill insulation. The blown-in insulators here are made from fiber insulation material. We have two types of insulation under blow-in which are; blown-in fiberglass and the blown-in cellulose.

The two have different insulation material, and their demand depends on the desire and financial capability of the clients. By insulation with either of the two methods, the stud and ceiling joist cavities will be filled. Let’s have a more in-depth look at the two types of blown-in insulation.

Blown-in fiberglass insulation.

This insulation material is made from a mixture of glass and sand, which is blown into fibers. This type of insulation is preferred for wall cavities and attics. Also, it can be recommended to areas where the existing insulation did not cover well.

Because of our value for the environment, we always call upon our clients to use fiberglass made from recycled glass. It has the ability to prevent moisture or water from reaching the house. Since it doesn’t absorb moisture, it can’t rot like other types of insulation. Above all, blown-in fiberglass insulation has a higher R-value, flame resistant, and is non-combustible.

Blown-in cellulose insulation.

Blown-in cellulose is much known because of its eco-friendly nature. Cellulose is manufactured from over 80% of old recycled newspapers. They are shredded and treated with fire-resistant chemicals. Some of these chemicals used are Ammonium Sulphate and borate. They aid to prevent the cellulose from being affected with pest and mold.

We can’t also ignore the fact that cellulose has cellulose has a higher R-Value. However, we acknowledge this type of insulation has to be accompanied by a vapor barrier for impressive results.

Spray foam insulation.

This type of insulation is blown using a hose or gun to cover the attic area.  The spray foam insulation is blown into attic surfaces using a blowing machine to reduce air leaks. The foam fills even smaller cavities hence creating an effective air barrier. Once sprayed, the foam has an ability to cover a larger area since it can spread up to 50 times its average liquid volume.

Batt insulation.

Batt is one of the most common products used to insulate walls, attics, and basements. Batts are manufactured from fiberglass and come in rolls or precut panels. They can also be made from stone or cotton wool. Our professionals will install the batts real quick. It is the least expensive way of insulating homes and has impressive results.

Rigid Foam Insulation.

The rigid foam panels poses a higher R-value than other insulation types. They promote comfort since they regulate temperature; hence the AC won’t be overworked. These panels are of about 4 by 8 foot and vary in thickness. They are water-resistant hence can’t crack when exposed to water.

Mineral wool insulation.

These are exclusively versatile products made from minerals materials such as stone, industrious waste, or molten glass which are mixed to form a fiber like structure. This mixture has a higher R-Value. R-Value is the ability of insulation material to resist heat flow. We can install either glass wool insulation or stone wool insulation. Both of them prevent heat loss, noise pollution, and risk of fire.
