Attic insulation is a key component to improving building energy efficiency. Without adequate insulation, heat will rise into living spaces — causing uncomfortable temperatures and higher energy bills. Insulation reduces this heat transfer, keeping buildings warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This results in less work for heating and cooling systems, reducing energy costs for homeowners.
Coastline Insulation are several different types of insulation, each with its own unique properties and benefits. The type of insulation a home or business owner chooses will depend on climate zone, desired R-value, cost, environmental impact and other factors. Fiberglass, cellulose and foam insulation are common choices for attics, walls, and roofs.
R-value is the measure of thermal resistance, or how much heat is able to pass through the material. The higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation is.
Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Attic Insulation
The type of insulation a homeowner chooses will also depend on the structure and area where it is being installed. For example, coastal homes require specialized insulation materials to prevent the movement of salt air into building materials and structures. This type of insulation is essential to preventing corrosion and sustaining long-term building integrity and functionality.
Spray foam insulation is a popular choice for attics and crawl spaces because it expands to fill gaps, cracks and holes — creating an air seal as it insulates. This type of insulation is fire-resistant and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a good choice for attics where soffit, ridge and gable vents are used since it does not interfere with this ventilation system.
