Patriot Foam & Coatings properly installed, attic insulation creates a boundary between your living space and the attic, keeping warm air from escaping during winter and hot air from entering in summer. When combined with air sealing, this can make your heating and cooling systems work less hard to maintain comfortable temperatures. This can significantly lower your energy bills.

If you’re considering having your attic insulated, there are many things to keep in mind. First, it’s important to figure out what you want to do with your attic, whether that’s storing stuff, finishing it for an extra room or making it a family gathering area. Knowing your long-term plans can help guide the professionals you work with.

It’s also important to inspect the attic, and fix any leaks or problems before you start adding insulation. It’s a good idea to have a professional conduct a full inspection before starting, as this can reveal problems like moisture and compression that will negatively impact the effectiveness of your new insulation.

There are several types of attic insulation to consider, depending on your home’s needs. Some are better for specific climates, and others may be more cost-effective than other options.

The Patriot Approach to High-Performance Spray Foam Attic Insulation

The most popular choice is fiberglass batting or blanket insulation, sometimes referred to as “batt” insulation. It’s affordable and easy for DIYers to install, but it has a few drawbacks. It can become dusty over time, and it’s not the best option for hot climates. Another alternative is blown-in insulation, which is more expensive but has a higher R-value per inch and is moisture resistant.
