All About Attic Insulation: Types & Benefits

As experts in attic insulation for Rogers and the surrounding areas, we’d like to provide you with some benefits to insulation in general as well as a few facts about the different insulation types we offer. Are you already aware how important attic insulation is to the comfort and energy efficiency of your home? But do you know why and what kind is best for your unique home? We hope this post can help point you in the right direction.

Types

• First, there’s closed cell spray foam insulation. This type of insulation can expand to reach hard-to-fill voids, which is great for spaces like attics, which often have smaller and more out-of-the-way spots that need to be insulated. You should see some long-term savings on your heating and cooling bills with closed cell spray foam attic insulation.
  
• The two other types of attic insulation we install are fiberglass and cellulose attic insulation. These types of blown-in insulation have almost the same R-value, and they are both environmentally friendly. Cellulose is made out of recycled newspaper and fiberglass is made out of sand, both of which are renewable resources. Fiberglass and cellulose attic insulation are also very energy efficient, so you should see some savings on your heating and cooling bills in the long run with these types of insulation as well.

Benefits

• Proper attic insulation could help you save money on heating and cooling bills and increase the comfort level of your entire family. 
• About 25% of heat is lost through your attic. Heat escapes out of the roof of the attic thanks to poor insulation.
• By having your current insulation removed and new insulation installed as soon as possible, you can ensure the sound structure of your home.
• When having your attic insulation replaced, you can essentially ensure you are not letting money escape through the ceiling.
• Proper attic insulation can also allow for even temperature distribution within the home as well as provide moisture control, and contribute to a more environmentally-friendly footprint for your home.

At Lewis Insulation, a commercial insulation contractor, we know a thing or two about the types of benefits insulation can provide:

Energy Efficiency

If your building’s heating and air conditioning is leaking, you not only create a larger environmental impact, but a larger impact on your wallet as well. Many consumers now go out of their way to find companies who are sustainable and environmentally responsible. It is important your building is operating in an environmentally friendly manner and proper insulation is a key part of that.

Sound Insulation

A recent survey by Cambridge Sound Management revealed that 30% of office workers are distracted by coworkers’ conversations. These types of noises can even affect the productivity of workers. Hire a commercial insulation contractor and they can help your building absorb noises and provide something of a mute for loud noises coming from outside. All in all, an insulated building is a more peaceful, comfortable place for workers to operate in.

Metal Structure Insulation

These types of buildings are frequently found in the housing of livestock, the protection of equipment and other general industrial tasks. A commercial insulation contractor can install insulation to provide a wide array of benefits for metal buildings and its contents. However hot, cold, or humid it is outside; without insulation, your commercial building will reflect that temperature to an even more extreme degree.

These are just a few of the reasons to consider hiring a commercial insulation contractor for your businesses. For more information about our commercial insulation contractor in Minneapolis, call us at Lewis Insulation at 763-477-2612 or you can contact us for a Free Estimate.
