Attic Insulation Woodlands

You might be wondering why you need to have your attic insulated. Here is the kicker, if your existing insulation is poorly installed, the attic can lead you to have unstable temperatures in your home. This is because of unregulated heat flow and air leaks.

So the main reason we would want you to have a well-insulated attic is for you to have lower AC bills. Yes, you will save money that was to be otherwise channeled to electricity as you will conditioning your house frequently.

If you are wondering on what kind of insulation can fit your attic, here are some of the samples that we can propose for you;

Blown-in insulation.

Blown-in insulation is known to many as loose-fill insulation. This insulation is a process where the studs and ceiling joists cavities are covered with loose material that has a higher insulating R-value. Also, the attic floors are filled with the same material in this process.

For blown in insulation, there are a variety of materials that can come in handy. Here are the forms of blown-in insulation that we found useful for you;

Blown-in fiberglass insulation.

As at now, you already know that insulating your home is a great way of enhancing your home’s energy efficiency by managing heat loss at room temperature. One way to achieve this is through use of blown-in fiberglass insulation.

One of the notable insulation material used here is the fiberglass. To install blown-in fiberglass insulation in an attic, we will use up to three professionals. A specialized pneumatic equipment will also be used.

The strands of fiberglass will be blown around the spaces in the attic through a hose. This insulation material will then settle into the attic’s cavities, and places that are rarely reached such as ceiling joists until a thick layer of insulation covers the space completely. This will notably prevent heat loss.

This method of insulation will be greatly recommended if the existing insulation might have left behind gaps. Also, for the joists that were previously irregularly spaced or a ground had various obstructions, we will highly recommend blown-in fiberglass. 

Blown-in cellulose.

This mode of insulation uses readily available materials. Imagine the styrofoam pellets made from old newspapers, cardboard, and other wood-based materials can come in handy when it comes to attic insulation. These materials are treated with boric acid and flame resistant and mold-resistant substances then packaged in tightly packed bales.

When it comes to insulating with blown in cellulose, we will use a mechanical blower to churn up the cellulose material using its paddles to make it lose. The blower also mixes it with air. The fluffy insulation is then blown through the hoses to various parts of the attic. Although these machines are expensive, we always have it available when the need arises.

Sadly, the cellulose materials often retains water and absorbs moisture. This means it can be a breeding ground for mold or rotting. Therefore, we recommend to accompany this option with a vapor barrier.

Rigid Foam Insulation.

Rigid foam insulation has a higher R-value than other types of insulation. R-Value is the effectiveness of a material in achieving its goal. The goal is trapping heat and keeping it from exiting from your home.

Rigid foam insulation ensures homes are of a comfortable temperature. Therefore, we can quickly reduce the indoor heat loss and air leaks hence lower energy bills.

These rigid foams come in panels of 4 by 8 feet and vary in thickness. They don’t crack or change in sizes when exposed to water. The foams are of high quality and derived from green-friendly materials.

Spray Foam insulation.

Spray foam has both open-cell and closed-cell varieties. Closed-cell is a recommended insulation than open-cell. Spray foam spreads faster when applied. This locks air in a seal that mirrors a vault. Above all, spray foam is highly durable as it can last up to a duration of 10 years. 

Batt insulation.

Batt insulation is pre-cut fiberglass well known as rock wool insulation. It comes in flat pieces. There are two types of bats; those that come with paper or foil facing and those with none. The one with facing are recommended since they can be placed near the living area.

Mineral wool insulation.

Mineral wools are manufactured from highly versatile materials containing high thermal properties. They are made from stone, slag or molten glass.  The choice can be glass wool insulation or stone wool insulation. Both of them prevent heat loss and movement of air. They are drawn from local renewable natural resources, hence environmentally friendly.
