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.
