When you think of home insulation, your attic may not be the first place that comes to mind. What’s important to remember, however, is that your attic is one of the most important parts of your home in terms of ventilation and air circulation. As such, having great attic insulation is critical to your home comfort and the overall energy efficiency of the structure.
So, how does attic insualtion help cool in the summer? Wouldn’t it be more likely to keep things warm? With the proper attic insulation and ventilation, your home can more easily circulate air throughout the year, as well as release heat caused by solar gains. With a radiant barrier as part of your attic insulation, you will notice a significant difference in the quality of your indoor air and in the way your home maintains its temperature.
The next important thing to know about attic insulation is that you can’t use just any type. For example, batt insulation is very popular for attics, but it doesn’t always adequately cover the areas where air can escape. Asking your insulation contractor about different types of attic insulation can lead you to a better return on investment and a better result when adding insulation to your home.
