Attic Insulation
Increase Energy Efficiency and Comfort with Attic Insulation
At Red River Roofing, Siding, and Windows, we know that a well-insulated attic is essential to maintaining energy efficiency and comfort in your home. Proper attic insulation can help you save up to 45% on heating and cooling costs, prevent moisture problems, and protect your roof from weather-related damage.
Why Insulate Your Attic?
Attic insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce energy waste and lower utility bills. Without adequate insulation, your home can lose up to 40% of conditioned air through the attic, leading to higher energy costs and reduced indoor comfort.
Insulation Cost Savings Example
Note – Average costs, Savings, and monthly ROI will vary - $264 1st yr. ROI
The Department of Energy estimates a staggering 90% of US homes are under-insulated
The exterior of the living space starts in the attic. There’s a good chance your home doesn’t have the proper amount of insulation – especially if it’s more than ten years old. Under-insulated homes face a number of dangers:
Energy loss through the attic
Decreased roof life
Ice dam formation
Moisture problems
Higher energy bills
Mold & mildew growth
Owens Corning High performance fiberizing technology
A “loose fill” (or “blown”) material, these nextgen fibers conform to any cavity and depth during installation, filling in around wires, pipes and other construction elements with superior R-value to keep energy bills lower. While other insulation products may settle over time, Owens Corning’s advanced fibers do more with less glass material, creating an efficient network of expanded “thermal reservoirs” that resist heat transfer within your attic or walls.
What is Insulation R value?
Insulation is identified and labeled by R-value. “R” stands for resistance to heat flow. The higher the insulation R-value, the greater the insulating power. In the winter, heat flows out. In the summer, heats flow in. Old building codes (which apply to most homes) called for less than R-13. New building codes require an R-39 depth of insulation. The Department of Energy recommends up to an R-60.
