Ventilate the attic properly

Attic Insulation Solutions For Minneapolis-St. Paul Homeowners

Midwest Roofing, Siding & Windows markets many options for attic insulation. We can make recommendations based on your financial budget and personal needs.

Cellulose is made from shredded newspaper. Blown-in cellulose is typically the most cost-effective option. Cellulose is excellent for air-sealing an attic without a vapor barrier and offers a higher R-value than most fiberglass options.

Fiberglass is widely used in many settings. Notably, it is an ideal fit if you have a vapor barrier. The delicate glass fibers are manufactured from sand and recycled materials. Fiberglass can come in loose fill and be installed with a blowing machine or in batts of manufactured pre-cut sheets.

Blown-in fiberglass covers large areas and is very cost-effective.
Fiberglass batts are an excellent option for smaller areas, where only a few batts and no machines are required.

Fiberglass has the following advantages:

Fire Retardant – Fiberglass is typically non-combustible, making it safe for installations next to your attic’s wood-based framework.
Moisture Resistance – Fiberglass batts resist moisture effectively, making them less vulnerable to mold and mildew growth.

Spray foam offers unmatched insulation value and works great for tight spaces and stopping airflow. It comes in either open-cell or closed-cell formulations. Open-cell insulation provides an excellent air barrier and soundproofing application. Closed-cell spray foam boasts an unrivaled R-value of 7 per inch.

Overall, spray foam offers the following benefits:

Airtight Seals – Once applied, spray foam expands rapidly and creates a vault-like seal.
Barrier Benefits – Spray foam enlarges a building’s envelope, strengthens the structure, and delivers an effective sound barrier.
Longevity – Spray foam remains at peak performance for several decades.
No Water – Spray foam resists moisture penetration. It is a leak-free solution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Most homes lack adequate attic insulation. Enter your attic. If you can see the floor joists, you probably need more insulation. However, a professional should be involved in verifying the sufficiency of attic insulation.

As a homeowner, you do not need to use the same kind of insulation that presently exists in your attic. For instance, fiberglass batts can be added over loose fill or vice versa.

Verify that the insulation’s vapor barrier faces toward the inside of your home. If you need assistance, contact a knowledgeable insulation professional.

It depends on your home’s unique situation. Many experts recommend insulating an attic to R-38 (approximately 10 to 14 inches thick).

R-values for insulation are cumulative. Thus, removing existing insulation is not necessary in most cases. However, the installer will assess the situation to determine if replacing the old insulation makes sense.
