The Fairfax roof repair contractors at Beyond Exteriors recently created a blog that explains why you should replace your attic insulation before winter. This often overlooked element of your home's construction can help you stay warm and save on heating costs this winter.
Attic insulation is a material that helps prevent cold air from entering your home through the roof. It is typically made of a mix of cellulose, commonly made from newspaper; fiberglass; and mineral wool; all of which are made from recycled materials. It can be purchased in loose fill, which is blown into the desired areas, or in loose batt, in which the insulation materials are pressed into a sheet and fitted between joists or studs in the home's framing. You may choose both types of insulation for different parts of your attic, or use only one to protect key areas from cold air. Carefully research your options and the best uses for each before selecting an insulation style for your home.
Replacing your attic insulation before winter has numerous benefits. The additional warmth new insulation provides can lower your utility bills, as you'll likely adjust the heat less often, and decrease wear and tear on your HVAC system for the same reason. Insulation can also create a safer home structure by preventing gradual damage from heat and evaporating water. Poor insulation can allow dust, dirt, mold, and other contaminants to enter your home, so better insulation can provide better indoor air quality. Indoor comfort is also improved and protected from outdoor air temperature fluctuations.
Working with a professional roofing contractor can help ensure that your attic is properly ventilated, insulated, and protected while saving you money on costly repairs and reinstallation.
