When your attic is properly insulated, it helps keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. This makes it more comfortable and reduces your energy costs, making your home more efficient. Insulation is one of the easiest ways to make a big difference in your home’s energy use, and it’s important to choose the right type for your house and climate.

AFT Insulation comes in a variety of forms: fiberglass batts, cellulose, mineral wool and spray foam. Each offers different advantages and is suitable for different houses. Fiberglass is an affordable choice and does a good job of regulating temperature. However, it doesn’t offer a lot of protection against air infiltration, and can shrink or settle over time.

Spray foam is more expensive, but it can be more effective. It is available in open and closed-cell varieties; open-cell is less dense and better for soundproofing, while closed-cell provides greater structural support and moisture resistance.

Signs Your Attic Needs New Insulation

When it comes to insulating your attic, it’s important to prepare the area before you begin. Remove any shingles and debris from the attic, and clear out any boxes or other clutter that may be stored in the space. This will help the installers work more easily and ensure that the new insulation is evenly distributed throughout the attic.

If you are hiring professionals to install insulation, be sure they wear personal protective equipment (PPE). This will include goggles and a mask to prevent the inhalation of hazardous materials during the process.
