Many homeowners don’t think much about their attic spaces unless something goes wrong (like a leaky ceiling or rodent infestation). However, your attic space is an important part of your home that can greatly impact your comfort and energy efficiency. Proper attic insulation prevents the heat in your home from escaping during the winter and keeps cool air from leaking into your living spaces during the summer. This helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout your house and reduces the strain on your heating and cooling systems, saving you money in the long run.
The Role of Attic Insulation in Preventing Mold and Moisture
Attic insulation also acts as a barrier between your home and the outside environment, helping to prevent the transfer of moisture between the two. In addition, it can help prevent the release of harmful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere. This may not seem significant, but it can have a big impact on the planet and your energy costs.
There are several types of attic insulation available, including fiberglass batts, cellulose, and spray foam. While fiberglass is the most common and cost effective, blown-in cellulose is an eco-friendly option that can deliver a higher R-Value. This type of insulation is made from recycled materials such as newspapers and cardboard and can be blown into the attic using specialized equipment. It is very effective at insulating and can fill even the most awkward spots in your attic, keeping warm air inside during the winter and preventing hot outdoor air from entering during the summer.
