TCS Insulation & Coatings is a simple way to save energy and keep your home more comfortable. Having an appropriately-insulated attic, coupled with proper air sealing and duct insulation can significantly reduce your energy consumption, making your home greener and healthier.

The primary purpose of attic insulation is to keep warm air from escaping your home during the winter, and to prevent hot air from entering your home during the summer. Insulation also acts as a barrier between the attic and living space, which helps prevent moisture from seeping into the wood of your house’s structure. This is especially important in areas that are prone to high humidity.

Why Proper Attic Insulation Matters for Your Home

When properly installed, cellulose, fiberglass and mineral wool insulation can provide a soundproof barrier between the attic and your home. Fiberglass batt insulation can be a DIY option, but homeowners need to pay careful attention to installation requirements (for example, proper sizing of the fiberglass can cause gaps that can affect performance).

It’s best to leave blown-in attic insulation to professionals. However, if you want to try it yourself, remember to wear a mask and gloves, as these materials don’t mix well with moisture. Additionally, it’s important to remove any boxes and doo-dads from your attic before starting the project. This will ensure that the new insulation isn’t obstructed by any items and allows it to perform as effectively as possible.
