Attic Insulation in Paris, ON

The importance of attic insulation can’t be understated or should we say adequate attic insulation. Most homes have little or no attic insulation in Paris, and homes with attic insulation in Paris may be under insulated due to technological advances or amendments to the to the building code that have called for an increase in attic insulation to help reduce energy use.

Experts have tendered reports that indicate that a home’s heat loss – 40 per cent – is right through the roof due to poor attic insulation in Paris. To remedy that situation a call to AM Roofing Solutions should be a top-of-mind item to help correct the problem and start saving money.

When you contact us the first order of business is an attic inspection to determine the situation and the inspection will help our consultant with the planning for your attic retrofit. If no insulation is in the attic, vapour and moisture barriers will be installed along with attic insulation in Paris to complete the work. If, upon inspection, old attic insulation is present and it has lost its R-value, it will have to be removed before the installation of new attic insulation in Paris can begin.

Once the barriers are installed, loose fill fiberglass insulation will be blown into the attic and creates an air and moisture tight seal the keeps attic temperatures relative. Having proper attic insulation in Paris will be beneficial to other areas of the roofing system. When excess heat buildup in the attic, it is released through the roof to your shingles. This in turn causes premature degradation to the shingles as they will crack and chip due to the exposure of the heat venting from the home. When you install attic insulation in Paris it is a form of preventative maintenance that will pay dividends down the line and prevent costly repairs to the roofing system.
