Signs That You Require Upgraded Insulation

If you are not sure whether you need to upgrade or renew your insulation or not, then consult with us. We will inspect your attic insulation based on the condition, age, and existing R-value and then we will determine whether your existing insulation is sufficient or not. There are few signs which will tell you that you need to upgrade or renew the insulation or not. Such as:

The home becomes old

Generally, the older home’s insulation becomes insufficient after a longer period of time. It is happening due to the outdated construction procedure. If the old insulation of your attic is not upgraded for more than 20 years, then it is a sign that you need to upgrade or reinstall the new insulation. Sometimes older insulation contains hazardous elements like asbestos.

Mould and Water damage

If the water resides inside of a home, it is not a good thing to have. Water is the greatest enemy of attic insulation and water can cause severe damage to the attic insulation. As a result, it helps to grow mould which is very hazardous for human health. If your roof is leaking water, it is a sign that your attic insulation is damaged by the water.

Growing of Pests

If the insulation has pests, it is easy to assume that the situation is much more worse. Sometimes pests leave feces and other fluids in the insulation, sometimes pests die in the attic, these result in a severe and long lasting stench. If your attic has pest issues, you certainly need to upgrade your insulation.

High utility bills

Measure your utility bill. If the utility bill is higher than the usual, then poor insulation can be one of the reasons. Poor insulation leaks air into the home which results in too much heat or cool in the home. As a result, it increases the heating and cooling cost. It is an indication that the insulation is not installed appropriately. If you can identify this issue, you need to upgrade your insulation.

Formation of icicles

If you see the composition of icicles on the rain gutter or eavestrough, it is a signal that your insulation is not working properly. If the insulation does not work properly, ice forms on the roof edge. If the attic and roof have moisture collection, it is a sign that the attic space is warm and it is melting the ice. This helps to grow mold and causes rotting wood.

Types of attic insulation Toronto service

There are three types of attic insulation available in the market and to us as well. Those are: 

Spray Foam Insulation services

Spray foam insulation is the best option amongst other options. It is made of PU or polyurethane foam and the product is sprayed into the attic directly. The spray foam comes in the form of liquid inside the shooter and when the liquid goes into the attic, it transforms into dense quickly and becomes hard foam. 

There are two types of spray foam used. One is open cell foam and the other one is closed cell foam. The open cell foam is less costlier and gives a great air barrier after the installation. But it does not give the water vapor barrier. On the other hand, the closed cell foam is a high density foam and gives a great water vapor barrier and air barrier simultaneously. However, the closed cell foam option is the most chosen product for the attic.

The spray foam has great thermal insulation, air sealing, and moisture control. The spray foam insulation gives maximum energy efficiency and reduces a lot of utility costs. This type of insulation requires a professional and expert hand.

Batt Insulation installation

Batt insulation is another excellent insulating option for attics. Batt insulation is generally used in unfinished spaces and is installed between joists, studs, and beams. This type of attic insulation is made of fiberglass. Batt insulation is a fairly inexpensive option which is very easy to install. It also can provide energy efficiency in the long term. It is made of long insulation fiber rolls which are held simultaneously with the reflective foil backing.

Blow-in insulation

Blown-in insulation is another great attic insulation along with various advantages. There are two types of blow-in insulation available. One is cellulose and the other one is fiberglass. Both options are built for the attic. The insulation value of both cellulose and fiberglass is almost similar but cellulose provides a slightly higher R-value. Cellulose insulation has a tendency to settle over a longer period of time. On the other hand, fiberglass insulation is maintained by the manufacturer in a way that it will not settle. Both fiberglass and cellulose are built to resist fire.

The necessity of measuring R-Value

Attic insulation generally depends on the R-value. Attic insulation gives resistance to heat or cold flow. R-value measures the ability of insulation’s resistance of heat and cold transfer. In other words, the higher the R-value of the insulation, the higher the ability to resist the flow of cold or heat. The R-Values are not related to the insulation’s thickness directly but the insulation’s density. So, the recommended R-value standard is R-50 to R-60.

If your home is 10 years or less than 10 years old, you need to add R-19 (6″-7″). If your home is between 20 years to 25 years old, you need to add R-30/38 (10″-13″). If your home is more than 25 years old, you need to add R-50/60 (16″-20″).
