Proseal Spray Foam and Loose-Fill Attic Insulation
Proseal Spray Foam insulation limits the transfer of heat from living areas to the attic and back again, reducing energy costs. It can also make rooms more comfortable and improve the lifecycle of your HVAC system, according to the Department of Energy.
The proper level of attic insulation is based on the climate where you live. Insulation is rated by its R-Value, with higher values offering better thermal performance.
How Proseal Spray Foam’s Attic Insulation Lowers Energy Bills
Loose-fill insulation is made from materials like fiberglass batts, cellulose, or mineral wool and blown into place using special equipment. It offers good R-Value per inch but can settle over time and lose efficiency. It’s also a favorite snack of raccoons and can cause mold and mildew in your attic.
It’s best to hire a professional for attic insulation. There are many safety precautions that professionals take that homeowners may not be familiar with or have the equipment for, and mistakes during the installation process can be very costly.
Blown-in attic insulation is a green option that’s made from recycled paper products including newspaper, corrugated cardboard and office paper. This cellulose is treated with borate, which reduces off-gassing and prevents moisture damage to the attic. It’s a great choice for homes with attics that can’t easily be accessed, or for those looking to add more R-Value to their existing home.
Spray foam is a more expensive option than other attic insulation, but it’s the most efficient. It’s installed with a special machine that pumps liquid polyurethane into the attic space where it expands to form a vault-like seal over the attic floorboards. It’s vapor-open to manage indoor humidity and offer industry-leading acoustic performance.
