Why Should You Insulate Your Attic?Attic insulation provides one of the best returns on investment a homeowner can make. Energy prices are rising, but the return on investment provided by insulation increases as well. As a rule of thumb, most building codes require a minimum of R-38 insulation in an attic, but some northern US states may require as much as R-60. Depending on the design of the home, adequate insulation can reduce energy costs exponentially, not to mention the environmentally friendly reduction of energy use.
There are other reasons for installing spray foam insulation. For example, some of our clients are not just looking for home insulation, but sound proof insulation as well. Our spray foam insulation process can dampen unwanted outdoor noise that can easily penetrate under-insulated exterior walls and garages. How Does Attic Insulation Work?
Insulation does its job by resisting the transfer of heat. In other words, insulation keeps cool air separate from warm air. Interestingly, insulation does this by trapping air inside the material, as air is one of the best insulators available. Spray foam insulation traps these air pockets as the material cures, providing an even resistance to thermal transfer anywhere it is applied. Because the spray foam insulation is self-adhering, it also sticks to nearly any surface.
As a leading insulation contractor, Dickson Spray Foam Insulation technicians use spray foam to get into tiny spaces. Most attic insulation materials, like blown-in fiberglass and cellulose, simply lie on top of the drywall wherever they happen to fall. Allowing the insulation to fall into place can result in areas of the attic to remain uninsulated simply because the material cannot get into areas that are difficult to access. Spray foam insulation is technologically superior to these materials because it seeps into these areas and stops the drafts they cause. |

Does Spray Foam Insulation Work in Vaulted or Cathedral Ceilings?
Yes. In fact, homes with vaulted or cathedral ceilings are one of the best applications for spray foam insulation. In the past, vaulted and cathedral style ceilings could really only be insulated with batts that were a hassle to install and tended to compact. The self-adhering nature of spray foam insulation allows the material to not only remain in place, but retain its shape, preventing any settling that might negatively affect the performance. Spray foam insulation can also be applied in various thicknesses, making it adaptable to nearly any situation.
