Don't Forget About The Attic Ceiling Insulation When Insulating Your Home
There are many areas of a home that need to have insulation installed in order to make sure that there is no escape of the heat or cool air that you are trying to fill your home with. The attic and ceiling are especially important during the winter months. The Attic Ceiling Insulation that you install in your home will eliminate the escape of your heated air that is being forced throughout your home. We all know that heat rises so if your ceiling does not have a barrier, guess where the heat goes.
You will find that there are several different kinds of Attic Ceiling Insulation. These different types consist of blown insulation, which can come in the form of vermiculite, cellulose, rock wool, or fiberglass. This also comes in batts as well. Determining rather you should use Attic Ceiling Insulation as blown or in batts will depend on the preference of the homeowner. The batt insulation will have a higher R value than that of the blown but that is only if it is installed properly. The R value is the value placed on insulation to tell what its insulation capability is. The higher the number, the better.
The major benefit of the Attic Ceiling Insulation that is blown is the fact that if you have existing insulation that has been damaged by a leaking roof or other cause of damage, the blown insulation can be installed right over the damaged insulation. Batt insulation has to be installed from the start so you would have to get dirty in order to get all the old Attic Ceiling Insulation out. Blown insulation is usually done by a professional which could cost more money than the batt type. However, you should still get estimates to see what your best value would be.
You can find many different manufacturers of the Attic Ceiling Insulation including Johns Manville and Owens Corning. These two manufacturers are very popular brands. If you are going to install the Attic Ceiling Insulation on your own, you need to research to learn the proper way to install it. If it is installed incorrectly, then you will experience the heat loss that will make your energy bills go up. You want to make sure that you do not cover up any type of attic ventilation that needs to be there. You also want to make sure that you do not leave any gaps between the insulation as well as not compressing the insulation.
