Coastline Insulation – Tips For Insulating Your Attic
Coastline Insulation is an essential part of a home’s overall energy efficiency. As heat rises, a poorly insulated attic can cause hot spots in the roof and walls of your home as well as a higher energy bill. Upgrading your attic insulation is an affordable and effective way to reduce your energy costs.
Insulating an attic should be done by a licensed contractor to ensure that your home is safe and that the insulation is properly installed. Professional installation also provides you with a warranty that will be honored by the insulation manufacturer if you ever have any issues with the product.
The Environmental Impact of High-Quality Attic Insulation
When choosing attic insulation, it is best to choose a dense spray foam. This type of insulation starts in liquid form and expands, essentially fortifying your home, while sealing all the cracks and gaps that can lead to air leakage. This type of insulation is recommended for coastal homes as it can withstand the unique challenges of humid climates and resist moisture build-up that can lead to mold and mildew.
Cellulose and fiberglass are popular options for attic insulation, but they cannot create a seal. For this reason, closed-cell spray foam is recommended for coastal homes. It is also more environmentally friendly than other types of insulation.
Before adding new insulation, it is important to have the attic and ductwork air-sealed. This will ensure that the new insulation is able to provide its advertised R-Value.
