Oct 07, 2022

After experiencing a warmer-than-normal summer, and as we approach winter, you may be wondering just how cold the coming months will be. You undoubtedly want your home to be a cozy respite from the frigid outdoors without high heating costs.


Attic insulation is the answer to regulating indoor temperatures and protecting your home from various weather conditions. In fact, attic insulation is a fundamental part of every London, Ontario home. We encourage every homeowner to invest in the correct type of insulation for your home for greater benefits. 


Here is some key information to consider about attic insulation for your home. 


What Is Attic Insulation? 


Simply put, attic insulation is the barrier under your roofing structure between the back of your ceiling and the bottom of your roof. It can be made up of many different materials such as:


  • Fibreglass
  • Cellulose 
  • Spray foam
  • Rock wool
  • Reflective foil thin insulation 
  • Eco-friendly insulation


Each roof and housing climate will require a different type of insulation. Let us help you figure out which one is best for your situation with a free quote.


What Are The Benefits & Why Should You Use Attic Insulation?


With the changing climate and temperatures here in London, Ontario, we strongly suggest that all homeowners make an investment when it comes to insulation. 


Here are a few of the benefits: 


  • Saves You Money: This is achieved by the heat/coolness within your house being trapped more efficiently and for longer periods, which undoubtedly reduces utility bills. 
  • A More Secure Structure: Heat, moisture and condensation damage can be prevented. More importantly, water vapour is prevented and thus cannot erode walls. Mould is also prevented, which is crucial as it can be detrimental to your health.
  • More Indoor Comfort: With outside temperatures constantly fluctuating, the room temperature can change instantly. This can be uncomfortable with negative temperatures, especially at night and early morning. 
  • Energy Conserving: When large spaces are empty, heat or cold can fill these spaces. This means more energy is needed to raise or lower the degrees. Using insulation, less energy is needed to reach these levels, saving a considerable amount of energy efficiently.
