Blown-in insulation is an affordable solution for attic insulation. It involves blowing loose-fill material into attic spaces. Available types include treated cellulose, fiberglass, or Rockwool. Cellulose is the cheapest choice and is usually made from recycled paper and cardboard. Cellulose loose fill has been treated to resist fire, mold, and mildew. A drawback to blown-in insulation is that it can shift and settle over time, but it is possible to add more insulation to compensate for this settling over time.

Fiberglass batting insulation is another common option for attic insulation. Fiberglass batts are easily found in most hardware stores and are typically chosen by DIY home insulators. The rolls can be wedged between ceiling joists but aren’t capable of providing an airtight seal. Fiberglass is a health hazard when disturbed, and fibers are skin and respiratory irritants. Additionally, fiberglass batt insulation doesn’t have the longevity of modern methods like spray foam.

Spray foam insulation is a great solution for attic spaces because it can also double as a vapour barrier, it can add structural integrity to your attic, and the thermal insulation rating is very high. The attic is one of the most important spaces to have insulated, so investing in highly rated insulation in this space is a good idea. Spray foam insulation is a mixture of two chemicals, usually isocyanate and polyol resin. When sprayed onto attic walls the mixture sticks and begins expanding into a foam. The foaming action creates small pockets known as cells that resist heat and sound. An advantage of spray foam is its ability to conform to irregular surfaces and fill tiny gaps creating an airtight seal over uneven surfaces which are typically difficult to insulate well. If you are interested in using your attic space for additional storage, utilizing spray foam over your rafters versus filling the floor with insulation can be a great way to keep your space accessible for storage

If you have concerns about your current insulation, our team will be happy to consult with you and help evaluate your current attic insulation. Some common reasons for attic insulation replacements include:

• Asbestos insulation removal (often found in older homes, built before 1970)
• Moisture issues from leaks in the attic
• Molding or mildewing insulation
• Wildlife or pest infestations in insulation

It’s important to hire an expert to assist with the proper removal of contaminated insulation, especially if you have asbestos, mold, or animal feces contaminating your attic insulation. Contact our team to learn more about your options and discuss your specific situation.

Ice dams occur when the roof surface is warm while outside temperatures are below freezing. This causes snow to melt on your roof and the water runs down to your eaves, pools on the edge of the roof where it is cooler, and refreezes. These frozen patches of ice in the eaves create a barrier that prevents water from draining. As the ice blockage gets larger, it can trap water which can leak into your home and cause substantial damage. Typically ice damming is caused by inadequate attic insulation. When too much hot air escapes through your attic, ice damming becomes a problem. By adding more insulation to your attic, the attic temperature will be better regulated so the roof surface does not get too warm and remains below freezing temperatures.

By properly insinuating your attic, you can help extend the lifespan of your furnace and air conditioner. Both appliances work to regulate the temperatures in your home and need to run longer when the warm or cool air is not well regulated in your home with proper insulation. Adding insulation to your attic is a great way to improve the temperature regulation in your home.
