Coastline Insulation is an important part of a home’s energy efficiency, providing significant savings on utility bills. A properly insulated attic also prevents conditioned air from escaping through the ceiling, helping rooms maintain more consistent temperatures from top to bottom. It can also provide soundproofing benefits, especially if you live near busy roads or construction sites.

The Long-Term Value of Proper Attic Insulation

Attic insulation comes in the form of rolls or batts, and is made from various materials, including natural fibers, plastic fibers, mineral wool or fiberglass. The most common type of attic insulation is fiberglass, which is available in several different R-values to suit the climate zone where you live. This insulation is available in precut panels that are designed to fit wall and attic studs, trusses or rafters, or as continuous rolls that can be hand-trimmed and fastened on site. Some insulation is available with a kraft or foil-kraft paper facing to act as an air and vapor barrier and facilitate handling and fastening during installation.

Before starting an attic insulating project, it’s wise to make sure your roof is in good condition and to seal all air leaks before applying any new insulation. It’s also a good idea to hire a contractor who is an Owens Corning Certified Energy Expert (CEE). This is an extra step that the manufacturer takes to ensure installers receive extensive training and quality assurance.

Be sure your contractors wear proper personal protective equipment. This may include a mask, goggles, and gloves. If they are using a wet-spray cellulose installation, it is a good idea for them to wear a face shield as boric acid in the chemicals used in this process can be irritating.
