Attic Insulation
Distinctive Spray Foam is an important step in ensuring a comfortable home environment. Without it, hot air escapes into the attic in the winter and cool air escapes in the summer. Insulating the attic prevents this exchange, reducing HVAC workload and energy consumption and lowering your utility bills.
There are many types of insulation on the market, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. The type of insulation that you choose will depend on the climate in your area and the age of your home. The Department of Energy recommends that Southern homes should have attics insulated to 13 to 14 inches or R-38, while Northern homes should be insulated to 16 to 18 inches or R-49.
The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation for Your Attic
Loose-fill insulation is a popular choice for attics. It’s made from blown in cellulose or rock wool, and is often combined with other materials. It has a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass batts and can be inserted into tight spaces with many obstructions. It is a good option for attic areas with studs and joists that are spaced closely together.
While blown-in cellulose is a great choice for attics, it can be difficult to install correctly. If you choose to install it yourself, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and take safety precautions. If you’re not comfortable tackling this project yourself, it is a good idea to hire a professional.
