Straight Edge Insulation – The Best Choice For Attic InsulationStraight Edge Insulation – The Best Choice For Attic Insulation

Almost all homes are under-insulated, especially their attics. Uninsulated attics allow heat to escape during the winter and cool air to escape in the summer, driving up energy bills and making your home uncomfortable. Proper attic insulation is a simple and affordable way to improve comfort, prolong the lifespan of your roof, and make your home more eco-friendly.

Spray foam insulation can help to lower your energy bills and reduce the amount of natural gas used for heating and cooling your home. It can also be a great way to qualify for ENERGY STAR upgrades, which can save you even more on your utility bills.

Attic Insulation FAQs Answered by the Experts at Straight Edge

There are many options for attic insulation, including fiberglass batting, mineral wool, cellulose and spray foam. The best choice depends on your goals for your home, budget and project skills. If you’re planning to add insulation as part of a larger project, like replacing your roofing system or adding siding, consider hiring a professional. They can perform a complete inspection of your attic to ensure that the rafters are sound and will support the added weight of the new insulation.

Fiberglass batting is inexpensive, easy to install and offers good R-Value. However, it can be susceptible to moisture, causing mold and rot. Mineral wool and cellulose insulation offer better R-Value for the same price. These products can also be prone to moisture and must be carefully installed, ensuring that there are no gaps or leaks. Spray foam is a more expensive option that offers the highest R-Value per inch, but requires specialized equipment and should be installed by a professional due to its chemical handling.

Insulate It Solutions Explains Spray Foam InsulationInsulate It Solutions Explains Spray Foam Insulation

Insulate It Solutions is a product that mixes and reacts unique liquid components to create an expansive foam. It is sprayed on the attic or other areas of a home, resulting in a comprehensive air seal with little to no gaps or voids. This results in superior thermal and energy efficiency and a healthier indoor environment.

Foam insulation helps prevent heat loss during winter and cooling loss during summer. It also reduces ice dams that can form in the winter. In addition, it keeps moisture from penetrating the walls and creating mold.

How Insulate It Solutions Delivers Superior Spray Foam Services

Foam also has a unique cellular structure that allows it to adhere to surfaces. It also expands to fill voids and spaces. This expansion gives it the ability to conform around tight and awkward spaces that traditional batt insulation cannot.

The foam’s cellular structure helps it to create an air seal that stops heat transfer. This reduces energy bills, and it keeps the temperature of a building consistent, improving comfort.

Foam insulation is also a great barrier against the movement of pollutants and humidity. If left unchecked, these issues can lead to significant remediation expenses and health concerns for the occupants. Foam insulation makes it difficult for these contaminants to enter a living space, and they are more likely to be trapped in the attic or crawl space.

When installing spray foam, the crew will first clean and prep the area to be sprayed. A high-tech rig then squirts the foam in place, whether it is being installed on an attic or the rim joist of a new home, pole barn or concrete block wall. The rig is controlled by technicians inside who make sure the foam is mixed perfectly and sprayed at just the right temperature.
