A well-insulated attic prevents heat loss and reduces energy costs. It helps keep indoor and outdoor air separated, making it easier for your home to stay comfortable year-round. This upgrade is one of the most affordable and highest-return ENERGY STAR home upgrades.
Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation levels and air leaks cause your heating and cooling system to work harder, wasting energy. They also make your home feel drafty and uncomfortable during winter and summer.
Understanding R-Value: What You Need to Know for Effective Attic Insulation
You can add attic insulation as a DIY project, or hire a professional to do it for you. Before you start, measure the existing insulation with a tape measure to see how much you have. Choose the type of insulation that best fits your needs, budget and climate.
Fiberglass batt and roll insulation is a common choice. It comes in pre-cut, long rolls that are easy to fit between the framing members (like joists and trusses) in your attic. It resists heat flow, and can be blown in using special equipment. It is usually paired with an attic air seal. It has a R-value of 2.9-4.3 per inch.
If you want to add cellulose or mineral wool insulation, make sure it is unfaced (it has no paper layer) and does not overlap with the fiberglass. It is more expensive than fiberglass, but it does not require a vapor barrier and is moisture resistant. Cellulose is also a favorite snack of raccoons, so it is not recommended if you live in an area where raccoons are a problem.
