A Insulation Contractor with proper attic insulation is more comfortable, healthier, and saves money. In fact, homeowners can save 15-50% on their energy bills if they have enough insulation. This is because your heating and cooling systems work less hard in a well-insulated attic. Insulation is measured by its R-value, which tells you how much heat it can prevent from passing through per inch. The Department of Energy recommends a minimum R-30 rating for homes. Choosing the right insulation type depends on many factors, including where you live and your budget.
Why Choose Coastline Insulation for Your Attic Insulation Needs
You can purchase a DIY kit to do your own attic insulation, but it’s usually best to hire a professional installer. A professional can ensure that you don’t block air vents or make other mistakes that can compromise the insulating performance of your attic.
Fiberglass batt insulation is the most common attic insulation. It consists of tiny slivers of glass that were once sand and other recycled materials. It is rolled into sheets called “batts” and treated with vapor to act as an adhesive. Fiberglass is a planet-friendly type of attic insulation and helps to reduce your energy consumption.
Blown-in cellulose is another attic insulation option. It’s made from a mix of recycled products, including wood, newspapers, and cardboard. It’s then treated with boric acid and other substances to make it flame resistant. It’s also eco-friendly, because it can be reused, and doesn’t require new production. It has a higher R-value than fiberglass and is better at filling gaps, cracks, or awkward areas.
