The right attic insulation makes your home much more energy efficient. Insulation prevents – or at least slows down – the transfer of heat between your living spaces and the outside air. This reduces your energy bills and helps to make your home a more environmentally sustainable place.

Roof insulation is installed in the actual roof structure and can be made of fibreglass, cellulose or foam. It’s usually blown in using a large hose and it’s best fitted by professionals as the loose fill insulation can easily settle, leaving gaps between the attic floor and the ceiling. This type of insulation is a good choice for homes with vaulted ceilings and those with complex roof structures.

Top Attic Insulation Mistakes to Avoid

Attic insulation is installed on the attic floor and focuses on insulating the living space below. It’s a great option for homes with converted attics that are used as living rooms as it’s cost-effective and offers full coverage to avoid heat loss.

Attic insulation is typically made of fibreglass batts, cellulose or foam. These materials are effective and budget-friendly but they don’t offer as complete a barrier against heat transfer as roof insulation. It may also need to be topped up from time to time as they’re more susceptible to damage caused by attic moisture and air leaks. It’s important to have your attic insulated with the correct material for your climate, to ensure optimal energy efficiency and comfort. For the best results, you should always have the insulating layer installed by a licensed contractor.
