ATTIC INSULATION
You know how insulated mugs can keep your drink warm or cool for hours? What if you could do that to your house? The answer is you can with attic insulation.
During the summer and winter your attic can reach extreme temperatures. A layer of insulation keeps the intense hot and cold from getting into your nice, cozy home. Also, attic insulation helps keep your monthly utility bill down.
Here are some quick facts about attic insulation:
- In the summer, the attic temperature can reach up to 125-130 degrees (!) with most of that heat absorbed from outside.
- The heated air is trapped in the attic space and slowly permeates your entire home.
- Expertly installed insulation can block 97% of outdoor heat that otherwise would infiltrate your home.
BLOWN-IN INSULATION
One of the most effective types of insulation is blown-in insulation. This method blankets the attic floor with 6 to 12 inches of fiberglass insulation. During the summer, insulation absorbs heat and stops it from getting into your home. And in the winter, insulation protects the heat in your home by creating a barrier between you and the cold weather.
Blown-in insulation is can be essentially sprayed into your attic, so it can get into every nook, leaving no part untouched.
Other pros of blown-in insulation are:
- Can be layered over existing insulation for extra comfort.
- Blown-in insulation can be treated with borates, which help stop critters and pests from settling in your attic.
- Cellulose attic insulation is made from recycled materials, making it a viable “green” option.

RADIANT INSULATION
Radiant insulation is essentially another term for Radiant Barrier. While insulation protects your home from existing heat, Radiant Barrier ensures that heat never enters your home in the first place.
Radiant Barrier works by stopping heat rays in their tracks. The reflective nature of Radiant Barrier acts a mirror, essentially reflecting heat rays back into the atmosphere before they can begin to warm your attic.
- Radiant insulation works by preventing heat from entering the attic altogether
- The radiant-barrier insulation staples several metal sheets onto the under deck of the roof
- The roof is completely covered with metal sheets so that heat doesn’t enter the attic.
BENEFITS OF ATTIC INSULATION
Your attic is not just a place for your holiday decorations, it’s a protective shell between your home and the outdoor weather. However, the effectiveness of your attic depends on your insulation situation. Properly installed insulation can provide numerous benefits for your home, including:
- Protecting the integrity of your home. Over time, moisture and extreme temperatures can damage your home. Insulation keeps everything safe.
- Elongating the lifespan of your HVAC system. When insulation absorbs heat, it takes pressure off your furnace.
- Lowering your heating bill. Insulation stops heat treated air from escaping through your attic, which will save money on your monthly energy bill.
