What is attic insulation?
Attic insulation refers broadly to any material used to insulate the attic. While majority of attic insulation is for thermal purposes, the term also refers to impact insulation, fire insulation, and acoustic insulation. Usually an insulation material will be selected for its ability to cater for several of these functions at once.
Do I need attic insulation in CT?
The best way to determine if you need attic insulation in CT or anywhere is by taking a look at your attic floor. If the insulation is above the tops of the joists and you cannot see the joists, you won’t recoup the cost of adding more because you have sufficient insulation. On the other hand, if insulation is at the tops of the joists, you will need to add insulation.
Types of insulation
There are several types of attic insulation materials and options to choose from. The most effective and durable include:
· Rigid foam – high-R-value panels that excel in attic and basement applications, and can’t be damaged by moisture
· Spray foam – foams a continuous air and thermal barrier with R-value. Useful in attic insulation applications
· Mineral wool – panels and batts made using mineral fiber and rated for direct contact with flues and chimneys
· Fiberglass – available as blow-in insulation and in batts of different thickness
· Cellulose – a super-green, loose and surprisingly affordable fill insulation treated for resistance to mold, fire and insects.
