Efficient Foam Insulation Inc. Explains the Different Types of Attic Insulation
An attic that’s properly insulated helps keep warm air inside during winter and cool air in during summer. This reduces the workload on your HVAC systems and lowers energy costs. Proper attic insulation also protects your roof and keeps pests out of your house.
Efficient Foam Insulation Inc. or air leaks cause your heating and cooling systems to work harder, resulting in higher energy bills throughout the year. Proper attic insulation keeps indoor temperatures more consistent from ceiling to floor, saving you money while making your home more comfortable.
The cost of attic insulation depends on the type and amount of insulation you need for your home, as well as if any repairs or other work are required to bring your attic up to code. The recommended R-value for your climate zone will also affect the total cost.
Reflective Insulation
Reflective or radiant barrier insulation consists of a thin aluminum film and is installed in attics to reduce cooling costs by reflecting radiant heat away from the attic. This is a good option for warmer climates, but it is less effective in colder climates. It is lightweight, easy to install, and can help lower your cooling costs. However, it requires an air gap to function and may lose effectiveness if it gets dirty.
Blown-in insulation is a popular choice for attics and walls, using materials like fiberglass, cellulose and rock wool to fill in gaps and crevices. It is typically more affordable than spray foam and provides a higher R-value per inch. It is also resistant to moisture and odor, and helps prevent mold and mildew.
