Spray Pro Insulation – How to Measure Your Attic Insulation
Adding Spray Pro Insulation to your attic can help keep the temperature of your home consistent, which lowers energy consumption and costs. It also makes the environment greener and contributes to climate change mitigation.
Measuring your attic’s current insulation is a simple process, but you’ll want to be accurate with your measurements. To do this, take a ruler and push it down through or next to your attic’s insulation. The number it reaches before hitting the attic floor is your attic’s R-Value.
How Attic Insulation Saves You Money on Energy Bills
To increase your attic’s R-Value, you can add blanket or loose-fill insulation. Blanket insulation comes in rolls or pre-cut panels called batts and is made of fiberglass, natural and synthetic fibers, and mineral wool. It can be installed between joists, beams, and studs. It can also be blown into place using a machine designed for that purpose. Loose-fill insulation is available in cellulose, fiberglass, and rockwool. It is often blown in through existing holes and seams. If you have loose-fill insulation that looks like gravel, it could contain asbestos and will require professional asbestos mitigation services to safely remove.
For the best results, it’s a good idea to consult an expert when planning your attic insulation project. Having precise measurements can ensure that you get the correct amount of insulation and that your energy rebate estimate is accurate. It’s also important when choosing a contractor, as improper measurements can cause your home to be under-insulated or over-insulated.
