The Benefits of Attic Insulation

Attic insulation is an often-overlooked home improvement that provides several benefits. In addition to keeping conditioned air in your home and reducing heating and cooling costs, new attic insulation can limit outside noise from penetrating into the rest of your house.

The Foam Depot Insulation Company can impact everything from moisture levels to air quality and energy efficiency, but they have an especially significant impact on attics because they are closest to the home’s structural components. Insufficient attic insulation can allow outside air to infiltrate through your ceilings, forcing your air conditioning system to work harder to maintain the proper temperature.

Uninsulated attics can also allow hot air to rise and cool air to fall, resulting in uneven temperatures from room to room. Poor attic insulation can be a major contributor to high utility bills month after month, and new insulation can significantly reduce them.

The Foam Depot: Your Trusted Experts for Attic Insulation Services

There are a number of options for attic insulation including fiberglass batts, loose-fill and spray foam. Fiberglass is a common and affordable option made from fine glass fibers. It is available in pre-cut panels and can be installed between attic joists. Loose-fill insulation, which is made of small particles of fiberglass, mineral wool or cellulose, is blown into attics with special equipment. It is also eco-friendly and provides a dense barrier against heat loss.

Spray foam is a more expensive option that expands upon application, filling gaps and sealing cracks effectively. It is also the most durable and offers superior R-value per inch. Rigid foam is typically comprised of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate or polyurethane and comes in sheets that can be cut to fit.
