Straight Edge Insulation is a great way to reduce air leaks, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It can also help your heating and cooling systems work less hard, saving energy and money and prolonging the life of your equipment.
Adding insulation to your attic is one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make to your home, and an important step in making your home healthier and more comfortable. Insulation helps reduce moisture, mold, and mildew, which can damage your roof and the walls of your home. It also keeps hot or cold air from leaking into living spaces, which is important for reducing humidity and maintaining comfortable room temperatures.
Before starting your attic insulation project, consider consulting an ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade Service Provider to discuss options, rebates and incentives available in your area. A professional can measure your attic and recommend the right amount of insulation to meet your needs.
The type of insulation you choose will depend on the R-value needed and the types of spaces to be insulated. Here are some of the common attic insulation options:
Rigid foam board
Made from a variety of foam plastics, including polystyrene, polyurethane, and polyisocyanurate, rigid foam boards are molded to fit between your attic rafters. It is a more expensive option than other attic insulation, but it is highly effective. It is best installed by professionals who can remove any existing flooring and access the space to ensure an airtight installation.
