A well-insulated attic is a crucial part of your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. According to ENERGY STAR, it can save you up to $1,200 per year on your heating and cooling costs. It’s a relatively easy and inexpensive do-it-yourself (DIY) project. Insulating your attic can also qualify you for financial assistance through your state’s Weatherization Program.
Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation has enough insulation and is well-sealed, you may not need to add more. However, you can check with a professional to be sure. The EPA recommends installing at least R-30 of fiberglass or mineral wool insulation. The right R-value is based on your climate zone, local building codes and the age of your home.
Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation: The Ultimate Attic Solution
The type of insulation you choose will depend on your budget, needs and available space in your attic. Choosing a loose-fill option like cellulose or rockwool is an environmentally friendly choice that’s made from recycled materials. It’s also a good choice if you want a high R-value and sound insulation in your attic. However, it’s not as effective as fiberglass batt insulation and can be more difficult to install.
Blanket or blown-in fiberglass is another popular option for DIYers and professionals alike. It comes in rolls or sheets that are easily affixed to unfinished attic spaces. It’s usually less expensive than spray foam and a little quicker to install because it can be blown in with a rented blower. However, it loses some of its R-value over time and does not fill gaps as well.
