When properly installed, Spray Foam Architects of Florida prevents heat from moving through the roof and into the living space, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round. It also reduces strain on heating and cooling systems, extending their lifespan.
The R-value of attic insulation, a measure of its ability to resist heat flow, is important when selecting the best type for your home. Higher R-values mean greater thermal efficiency, which lowers energy costs.
Long-Term Savings with Spray Foam Attic Insulation in Florida Homes
There are several attic insulation options available, including fiberglass batts and rolls, cellulose, blown-in insulation, and spray foam. Fiberglass batts and rolls, made from flexible fiberglass fibers, come in pre-cut blankets or rolls that easily fit between the framing members (joists, trusses, etc) of your attic. This is a popular, budget-friendly choice that’s relatively easy to install yourself, though it’s recommended you hire professionals for tasks like sealing air leaks in the attic space.
Another option is cellulose insulation, which is made from recycled paper that’s treated with fire retardants and can be blown into attics or walls. It’s considered a green alternative that offers better thermal performance and dampens noise than other types of insulation. However, it may off-gas odors and requires professional installation to ensure optimal density.
Another option is loose-fill blown-in insulation, which can be used in addition to existing fiberglass blankets or rolls or on its own. Blown-in insulation is available from some home improvement stores, but it’s recommended that you work with a professional, as the process requires a special machine to apply evenly across your attic floor.
