Now that fall is here, its time to complete those insulation upgrades to maximize the energy efficiency in your home during the coming cold months.
St. Louis residents know we can experience some intense cold, in the fall and winter months. You might be wondering what you can do to prevent this uncomfortable weather from infiltrating your home and skyrocketing your energy bills.
One of the most important areas within your home to consider is the attic space. Nearly half of the energy within your home is lost through the attic. How do I stop this from happening? Attic insulation is the key!
It is critical to have the correct amount of insulation in your attic space. If your attic space has less than 12″ of insulation, you’re unfortunately fighting a losing battle. A thick blanket of attic insulation prevents energy loss and protects your home from the elements throughout the year.
The most common and economical material used to insulate attic spaces is blown fiberglass. Fiberglass can be installed quickly and the material cost is the lowest of all attic insulation materials.
Another common attic insulation material is blown cellulose. Cellulose insulation has higher r-values per inch than that of fiberglass and has many green properties that are appealing to homeowners.
The most effective material used to insulate attics, is spray foam insulation. Due to its extremely high r-values and excellent air sealing properties, spray foam insulation has become a favorite insulation material for homeowners.
