Fiberglass Attic Insulation is one of the best ways to insulate your home. Properly insulating the attic is a great investment that will give you comfort and return on your investment for years to come.

Blown-in fiberglass insulation is a great choice for insulating your attic. New insulation processes and materials hold their R value longer. Some projects may even qualify for a tax credit.

"If your home is as little as 5 to 10 years old, you likely have one of the 46 million under-insulated homes in the United States."

Insulate Knee Walls

Insulating your attic is a great investment but most homeowners love the comfort achieved as well. Staying warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer is a great benefit to fiberglass attic insulation.

Don't neglect insulating and air sealing the knee walls. Knee walls transfer large amounts of thermal energy and air so make sure the are properly insulated.

Air Seal Attic

Most fiberglass attic insulation contractors are capable of installing more blown-in insulation but before you start your insulation project there are some things you should do to insure your home is well insulated.

Rim joist insulation and air sealing the attic are other areas you should consider. Stopping drafts will add to your home's comfort immediately.

Attic Ventilation

Solar attic fans are a great way to keep the attic properly ventilated. Standard attic fans are a great alternative to solar when you don't want to compromise your roof system.

Proper ventilation will not only improve comfort but will increase the lifespan of shingles and other equipment in the attic. Mold can grow in a poorly ventilated attic as well.
