Patriot Foam & Coatings many homeowners have a “out of sight, out of mind” attitude towards their attics, if you neglect this area it can cause serious problems. Insulating your attic can improve the comfort of rooms throughout the house, cut heating and cooling costs, protect your home from pests and rodents, and help with soundproofing.
There are several types of insulation materials to choose from, but the most popular attic insulation is fiberglass batts or mineral wool. These are pre-cut panels that fit within standard floor and ceiling joists. They come with or without facing and are available in various R-values, depending on your climate needs.
How Spray Foam Insulation Keeps Your Home Comfortable Year-Round
A more environmentally friendly choice is mineral wool, which consists of natural fibers rather than glass. It can also provide higher R-values than fiberglass batts and is naturally resistant to moisture, so it will not mold or mildew. Another option is cellulose, which consists of recycled paper. It is a highly effective attic insulation material and can be fire-resistant if blown in with a special machine that adds ammonium sulfate or borate.
Rigid foam insulation is hard and comes in panels or boards made of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate or polyurethane. It is a great attic insulation because it offers high R-values and resists compression, making it durable and long-lasting. It is however expensive, and can block air vents if not properly installed.
Patriot Foam & Coatings can provide spray foam insulation for attic, walls, roofs and other areas in residential, commercial and industrial buildings and structures. This is a one-step insulating solution that can be applied quickly and provides superior thermal performance, air sealing and water resistance.
