Attic and Roof Insulation

Thinking about adding insulation to your property? If so, you’re onto a prudent course of action. Insulation is now considered so essential that many localities legally require new builds to have insulation in place. That’s how important it is! Of course, it can be slightly more challenging to set up insulation in a property that has already been built rather than one that is still in development. There are various out-of-the-way gaps to find that, if left, can undermine your insulation’s effectiveness. Two common areas of concern are the attic and the roof. If you don’t have insulation in place in these spaces, your building’s insulation quality will be close to nil. At D&R Spray Foam Insulation, we provide reliable roof and attic insulation services to our customers – and we’ve only ever received positive feedback for our work. Read on below and uncover additional information about the importance of this process.

Finding Every Crevice

There are countless spots and spaces in attics and roofs, as they’re often filled with fixings, components, and support structures. This means filling in the gaps with insulation can be a challenge. Yet, if these openings aren’t filled, then heat and air will escape anyway, rendering the rest of the insulation ineffective. Through the use of open and closed cell insulation (or blown in insulation) we will make sure that every single space is accounted for and closed up.

Heat Loss

The number one reason that insulation is a must for your attic and roof is that these are the areas where the most significant heat loss will take place in your property. As you surely already know, heat rises. With this being so, hot air in your property ascends through the building before eventually leaving via the attic and then roof. This can make heating your property effectively basically impossible. To regulate the temperature of your building – whether you’re trying to keep it warm or cool – you absolutely need attic and roof insulation in place.

Utility Bills

The cost of energy has been steadily growing throughout the last couple of decades, but it has shot up in this last year, in particular. In some areas, there’s a cost of living crisis taking place, and every penny needs to be saved. Adding insulation to your property might seem like an additional, unnecessary expense, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth is that insulation makes your property more energy efficient and significantly reduces your utility bills in the long run. Over the years, you stand to gain thousands of dollars through smaller bills.

Helping the Environment

There’s plenty for you to gain, as an individual, if you choose to install insulation in your attic and roof – that’s abundantly clear. But it’s also worth noting that this activity has a net-positive impact on the environment as well. Since your property is going to be more energy efficient, your carbon footprint is going to be lowered as well. This puts less strain on the environment, which we know is suffering under the weight of consumption in the United States and beyond.
