Spray foam insulation is a critical component to coastal homes because of the increased humidity levels that contribute to mold and mildew issues. It also increases the overall comfort of the home and reduces energy consumption, both of which are important to homeowners who want to minimize their carbon footprint.
The attic is one of the most important areas in a home to properly insulate. Without sufficient insulation, heat can easily transfer into living spaces, increasing energy bills and straining heating and cooling systems. Additionally, moisture from salt air can corrode building materials and increase maintenance costs. Insulation and proper ventilation in the attic can reduce these problems and prevent heat loss, reducing the overall energy bill by a significant amount.
How Proper Attic Insulation Helps Regulate
There are many different types of insulation available, with different R-Values, and each type has its own advantages and benefits. The most important thing is to get the right type for your home. For example, cellulose and closed-cell spray foam insulation are great options for the attic since they provide air sealing and do not degrade over time like fiberglass. Blown-in fiberglass insulation is also an option, but it should always be combined with air sealing and baffles to achieve the advertised R-Value.
