Straight Edge Insulation is a great way to improve your home’s energy efficiency. It works hand in hand with your HVAC system and ductwork to keep your rooms at consistent temperatures throughout the year. This upgrade helps you to save money on your energy bill and is one of the simplest ways to increase your home’s R-value.

It also improves your indoor comfort by keeping conditioned air in your home instead of losing it through the ceilings. Insulation can also reduce outside noise, especially if you live near busy roads or construction.

The Energy-Saving Benefits of Attic Insulation by Straight Edge Insulation

Insulation comes in various forms and varying R-values. It’s important to choose an eco-friendly option, which is made from renewable resources, has low embodied energy and can be recycled at the end of its life. It should also be low-VOC, which is less toxic to the environment.

Before insulating your attic, a professional should assess the attic for signs of moisture damage. Moisture leads to mold growth and can weaken the attic structure, so it needs to be repaired before installing insulation. In addition, the rafters should be evaluated to ensure they can support the weight of the new insulation.

The attic is a difficult place to work, so many people opt to hire professionals for insulation. They’ll be able to identify hard-to-see gaps and evaluate your roof ventilation system. They can even help you find and apply for financial assistance from your state’s Weatherization Program.
