Attic Insulation Installation in Sugarland, TX

If you are wondering why you need to have your attic insulated, the kicker is that a poorly insulated attic can cause unstable temperatures in your home since there would be unregulated heat flow and air leaks. Higher AC bills will finish you off financially.

For starters, a well-insulated attic will cut down your homes’ energy bills. By proper attic insulation, there would be the resistance of air that would be lost from your home.

Below are the best attic insulations that we can install in your home;

Blown-in insulation.

The blown-in insulations are locally translated as loose-fill insulation. The insulators in this option are made from fibers. They are then installed on the attic floor. There are two types of existing insulations under blow-in that can have been used successfully. The two options include the blown-in fiberglass and the blown-in cellulose.

Both of the above-stated choices have different insulation material and will suit your house depending on the amount needed and other factors such as finances. In both methods, stud and ceiling joist cavities will be filled. Also, the entire attic floors will be covered with loose insulation materials that boast an excellent insulation record. The two types are;

Blown-in fiberglass insulation.

The blown-in fiberglass is the kind of insulation that comes with a loose-fill from where the fibers’ little chunks are packed in bags. The fragments from the fiberglass will be spread by spraying to fill the spaces in the attic. This is a perfect model for filling the tight voids around the wiring pipes and poorly framed areas.

What attracts many clients to this form of insulation is the fact that it is cheaper. Since it is frequently purchased, people who have experience with it are many, thus easy to research. All you can do is ask how this insulation type serves them. 

Now, for those residents who had poorly done existing insulations that left behind either gaps or ceiling joists irregularly spaced, fiberglass insulation is what is needed.

Blown-in cellulose.

The newspapers that have always been rendered useless after we are done reading are so useful in this option.  The papers are churned to form the cellulose. They are an excellent insulation material. After shredding them into finer particles, they will be sprayed to insulate the attic.

This is a cool option for clients who are in a tight budget. It is cheap to install since the materials are locally available. The cellulose retains water through absorbing moisture. Sadly, this insulating method is prone to molding or rotting. The only way of containing this setback is by accompanying the option with a vapor barrier. 

Rigid Foam Insulation.

This is a kind of insulation that contains a higher R-value than other types of insulation (the effectiveness of a material in achieving its goal.) This is its effectiveness in trapping heat and keeping it from leaving your house.

These foams are manufactured in panels of 4 by 8 feet and have a thickness that varies. They don’t crack or change in sizes when exposed to water. These rigid foams are of the best quality since they are made from green-friendly materials. Above all, they ensure your homes are of a comfortable temperature.

Spray Foam insulation.

Spray foam comes in two varieties, namely, open-cell and closed-cell. The closed-cell foam is more recommended than open-cell. The peculiar aspect that is distinct from the other forms of insulation is its ability to spread faster. This ability enables it to lock air in a vault-like seal.

It will go without saying that Spray foam lasts for a longer time. It is estimated to last for approximately ten years. Remember, ten years is the recommended amount of time when one should have their insulation changed.

Batt insulation.

Batt insulation is made from cut fiberglass. It is also known as rock wool insulation. They are also manufactured in flat pieces coming in two types of bats; those that come with paper or foil facing and those with none. Those with the foil facing are recommended to be placed near the living area.

Mineral wool insulation.

Mineral wools are made from very versatile materials that have high thermal properties. Some of the raw materials that have made mineral wool insulation include stones, slag, or molten glass.  You can either opt for glass wool insulation or stone wool insulation. The best thing is that they all prevent heat loss and movement of air. They are also environmentally friendly since they are drawn from local renewable natural resources.
