Attic insulation is a thermally insulated, protective interior cladding method that involves the use of rock wool or glass and polyurethane foam.
It is one of the excellent ways to protect your home from temperature extremes and moisture damage.
Attic insulation which is an important source of energy is carried out in order to reduce or regulate heating and cooling costs by preventing the transfer of heat from inside to the outside of the house during the winter period or from the outside to the inside during the summer period.
There is a difference between cold or warm loft insulation. Cold roof insulation needs the joist level to hinder heat escaping through the unused roof space, while warm roof insulation is carried out between and under the rafters of the roof itself.
The most types of insulation used for attics are:
- Cellulose
- Loose-fill fiberglass
- fiberglass batts
- Spray foam.
- Blanket insulation
- Radiant foil.
All these four materials consist of the vast majority of the installation of attic insulation carried out by insulation contractors.
