Maximum attic insulation efficiency would include :

(1) Blown Wool (R-38+)
(2) Radiant Barrier, and
(3) Attic door insulation (attic tent).

Blown wool insulation is the most common form of attic insulation. The R-Value of loose fill insulation depends upon its density, not just its thickness. Mixing excessive air with the insulation as it is blown onto the attic floor, a process known as “fluffing”, increases the insulation’s loft and gives the appearance of greater material, and hence higher R-Value.

We will check both the density and the depth of your insulation to establish if your R-Value is sufficient.

Radiant Heat accounts for 93% of heat gain in the summer, and 50% to 60% of heat loss in the winter!

Radiant Barrier is a low emissivity reflective coating that is sprayed on your attic ceiling. See insulation diagram above. Radiant Barrier reflects the sun's heat away from your home, subsequently keeping your attic cooler, and your electric bills lower!

There is typically substantial air transfer/air loss through the attic accesses/pull down stairs. Additionally, this access way also creates harmful airborne particles of dust and fiberglass (insulation) each time the attic door is opened or closed.

The solution? An attic tent.
