Attic Insulation

Does Your Home Need More Insulation? Here are the tell-tale signs.

• High heating costs
• High cooling costs
• Cold areas/rooms in the house
• Premature aging of roof
• Leaking roof
• Ice buildup in roof valleys
• Icicles hanging from eavestroughs and fascia

When properly insulated, the inside attic temperature is the same as the outside temperature.

The Process

The ideal time to have your insulation “topped up” is when you are having your roof replaced. This allows the installers to remove a portion of the roof and blow the insulation in from outside. When this is not possible, insulation is blown in through an attic access inside the house.

1. Our salesperson will come to your home and check the attic for insulation and proper ventilation. During this inspection they will take photos so you can see and understand the nature of the problem.
2. You will be provided with a written quotation that outlines the work required and materials to be used.
3. Additional vents will be added in the rafters if there is insufficient airflow. This may require adding vents to the soffits.
4. Owens Corning “pink insulation” will be blown in.

The entire process can be completed in about 2 hours.

Spray Foam

When you need to take action against high-energy bills, spray foam insulation is one of the best ways to go. It provides the highest R-value in class and it has unique properties that allow it to perform functions that other insulation products can’t. When the foam is sprayed it increases in size up to 40-100 times the size. That means it fills holes and crevices, it eliminates the need for a moisture and vapour barrier, and lasts for decades before it needs maintenance. An important fact about spray foam insulation is it needs to be installed by a licensed, trained professional, like the kind we employ at AM Roofing Solutions. If you are having your roof repaired or replaced, it is the best time to get your attic insulated with spray foam insulation. We are fully insured to carry out the task, and when complete it you will have an energy-efficient home. You will have brand spanking new roof, and an insulated attic, that will protect your most important investment, your home. If your home is more than 10-years-old, we recommend a consultation to explore your insulation needs that will eliminate excessive energy use and help reduce the pollution that is associated with energy consumption.
