Insulation works hand in hand with your HVAC system and ductwork to keep your home comfortable. If you’ve noticed that some rooms in your home are chilly, or that your energy bills are higher than normal, it may be time to upgrade your insulation.

There are many types of spray foam insulation, each with different qualities and benefits. Some common materials include fiberglass, cellulose, mineral wool, and spray foam. Each type of insulation has its own R-Value, which indicates how well it resists heat flow and contributes to your home’s overall energy efficiency.

Improve Indoor Comfort with Attic Insulation by AFT Insulation

The R-value recommended for your attic will depend on a few factors, including your home’s location and climate. Regardless of what R-Value is recommended, a good rule of thumb is to aim for a level of insulation that’s equal to or slightly higher than the current amount in your attic.

A professional will assess your attic to make sure there are no leaks or moisture problems that could compromise the quality of your new insulation. They’ll also make sure the rafters in your attic are strong enough to support the weight of additional insulation without sagging over time.

During an attic insulation installation, you or your hired professionals must wear protective gear. These areas can be dusty, and you don’t want to inhale any particles or toxic insulation chemicals. A good protective suit should include coveralls, eye protection goggles, and a face mask. It’s also a good idea to clear out any clutter in your attic or crawl spaces so that you have enough space to work and avoid blockages that could compromise your insulation.
