Experts say that over 40 per cent of a home’s heat loss is directly related to the roof and more specifically the attic. Attic insulation plays a major role in your roofing system; poorly installed insulation or not enough insulation won’t keep your home warm in the winter or cool in the summer.

To obtain peak energy efficiency for home it is essential to choose the best possible product for your attic insulation and you need to have a professional install to derive the maximum benefit of the insulation.

For the homeowner who wants to save money on insulation, many home centres offer self-help guidance but the information, while helpful, doesn’t take into account a number of factors

When installing attic insulation important factors need to be considered:

• Generally homeowners don’t have enough technical information or expertise to install insulation to get the most out of the product and accurate information is sporadic at best
• Depending on the type of attic insulation that is being used determines the requirements of the installation. For instance, if using insulation that is laid between rafters, a vapour barrier may need to be laid first to help the attic insulation perform to the highest standards. A qualified professional is well schooled in the finer points of vapour barrier insulation and how to combine the plastic sheeting with the insulation to create a seal that holds heat in the winter and works with the ventilation system to release heat in the summer.
• Choosing the proper attic insulation for your home is a challenge. Every manufacturer of attic insulation says that their’s is the best and provides the best R-value for the money. Qualified installers will be able to assess your needs and provide the most comprehensive attic insulation solution that works best with your home.
