Attic Insulation
The benefits of attic insulation!
The attic serves as a vital barrier between your home's interior and the outdoors. In the summer, solar heat gain causes the roof temperature to rise dramatically, with heat transferring into the attic through conduction and radiation. Attic temperatures can soar up to 140°F, and the primary goal is to prevent this heat from reaching your living spaces.
During the winter, the objective shifts to keeping cold outside air from entering the home. Attics are typically ventilated to allow hot air to escape and to maintain dryness, helping regulate temperature and prevent moisture buildup.
Most densely populated areas in South Florida are located in warmer climate zones, characterized by hot, dry summers with minimal rainfall. Humidity levels remain low year-round, particularly during the summer. Residents primarily rely on electricity to power air conditioning systems for cooling in the summer and use natural gas for heating in the winter. Since natural gas is a more affordable energy source compared to electricity, energy costs are typically highest during the summer months due to increased AC usage.
Insulation Is for winter and summer!
Loose-Fill Insulation
Loose-fill insulation is typically made from small particles of fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool, which can easily conform to any space without disrupting the structure or fixtures. This type of insulation is applied using a specialized blowing machine, making it ideal for attics with irregular joist spacing, numerous obstructions, or existing insulation that needs to be supplemented.
It's particularly effective for attics with low clearance where maneuverability is limited. Loose-fill insulation is commonly used in open-blow applications for attic spaces, while closed-cavity applications are suited for inside walls or covering attic floors. Some settling of the insulation may occur over time.
