Attic Insulation Brookfield, WI

Insulation is probably the most overlooked aspect of our homes because most of us do not see it on a daily basis. According to various forms of research about 90% of homes built before 2000 are not insulated up to code. As insulation installers, 1-800-RITE-ROOF will ensure your attic is properly insulated so that your home or building warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

The Importance of Insulation

There are many reasons why a well-insulated home or building is important including the incredible amount of money it will save on your energy bill. Good insulation will also help the home stay more comfortable and will prolong the life of the structure and the contents of the home or building. The largest benefit of insulation is the relatively low cost of installation and the incredible return-on-investment it generates. As a roofing company, we understand what your roof and attic need in the way of insulation and as insulation installers, we’ll make sure yours is done right.

Popular Insulation Options Depending on The Style of Your Home

Insulating with EcoTouch PINK FIBERGLAS Batts & Rolls

For maximum energy efficiency, we recommend about 18 inches of insulation for attic floors. If your joist cavities are completely filled, our insulation installers will lay the new insulation in long runs perpendicular to the joists. Batt insulation systems are used mostly in slanted or cathedral ceiling areas of an attic or around skylight flutes where blown insulation is not practical. As part of our insulation systems we will air seal the attic around recessed lighting fixtures, light fixture boxes, metal & masonry chimneys, gas water heater flues or other penetrations through the walls or ceiling. We will also install rafter baffles to allow air flow from the soffits into the attic space

Insulating with Atticat Loose Fill Insulation

Another method of insulating your attic is our loose fill insulation. Instead of laying batts or rolls, our AttiCat®Insulation Blowing Machine conditions the AttiCat® Expanding Blown-In PINK® Fiberglas™ Insulation by fluffing it along the length of the hose, adding millions of the tiny air pockets that give the material its insulating power. Because Fiberglas™ insulation will not settle, it will maintain the same energy-saving level over time, keeping your home comfortable for years to come.

Blown-in attic insulation is the option most insulation installers choose for attics with a level surface. It allows us to maximize R-value and also is the easiest way to completely cover the attic evenly. As with rolled insulation we will air seal around any penetrations into the attic from the walls or ceiling for maximum insulting effect. As with batt insulation systems we will install rafter baffles to allow air flow from the soffits into the attic.
