Insulate Your Attic With CEC Spray FoamInsulate Your Attic With CEC Spray Foam
Insulating your attic will greatly reduce the amount of energy needed to keep your home comfortable all year round. It will also help prevent hot air from escaping during the summer and freezing cold air from seeping into your home during the winter, making it easier to manage your indoor temperature.
In addition to saving on energy costs, a well-insulated attic can also reduce outside noises. This can be a great benefit if you live near busy roads or construction areas.
How Proper Attic Insulation Protects Your Home Year-Round
There are a variety of attic insulation options on the market, from traditional fiberglass batts to cotton batting alternatives and rigid foam panels. The type of attic insulation you choose will depend on the specific needs of your home.
Fiberglass batts are a common budget-friendly choice. They are available in a range of R-values and have an effective thermal performance. However, the airborne fibers can irritate the eyes and skin and aren’t healthy to inhale.
Another option is loose-fill insulation, which can be made of cellulose, fiberglass or mineral wool. Loose-fill can be blown in between the attic joists to fill gaps and cracks. It can be more effective than a blanket or batt insulation, but it may settle over time and lose some of its R-value.
Spray foam insulation is an alternative to both loose-fill and blanket insulation. It is sprayed into the attic and forms an air barrier that improves your R-value. It is more expensive than other types of insulation, but it can save on energy costs in the long run.
