A properly insulated attic will keep warm air in the winter and cool air in the summer, which lowers energy bills and makes your home more comfortable. Insulation also reduces the stress on your HVAC systems, extending their life and reducing repair costs. And it’s a great way to increase your home value by boosting its energy efficiency, which will appeal to potential buyers.
Attic spray foam insulation is typically made from either fiberglass batts or cellulose. Fiberglass is a non-toxic and fire-resistant material that’s usually applied in loose fill, while cellulose is more commonly installed using an attic blower.
Benefits of Choosing Spray Foam for Attic Insulation
Both insulation types come in different R-Values, with higher values indicating better thermal performance. The appropriate R-Value for your area will depend on the climate in which you live, but generally speaking a R-Value of about R-30 will be sufficient to significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency.
Before starting any installation, the professionals will likely clean out your attic, removing any debris or boxes that have been taking up space. They will then apply the appropriate amount of insulation. They will be mindful not to block any vents or electrical outlets in your attic. They will also wear protective gear depending on the type of insulation they are installing, as some materials require special safety equipment to handle.
In addition to improving indoor comfort and lowering energy costs, attic insulation can also improve your indoor air quality (IAQ), helping to keep harmful outdoor pollutants from entering your home. This is especially important if you have allergies or asthma.
