We install Owens Corning blown fiberglass insulation in attics and two-part closed-cell spray foam in basements and crawl spaces.What R-value do I need in my attic?
For attic insulation, the Department of Energy recommends an R-value between R-49 and R-60. This generally translates to approximately 17 to 20 inches of blown fiberglass insulation.Does insulation alone stop drafts?
Not entirely. While insulation helps reduce heat transfer, it cannot prevent air from escaping through gaps and cracks. Pairing insulation with professional air sealing around light fixtures, plumbing penetrations, top plates, and other openings helps address unwanted drafts.How do I know if my home needs more insulation?
Higher energy bills, uneven indoor temperatures, winter ice dams, and thin or compressed attic insulation can all indicate that your home may need additional insulation.Why should I seal my ductwork?
Unsealed ducts can allow heated or cooled air to escape through holes, gaps, and disconnected joints before reaching your living spaces. Proper duct sealing helps improve airflow, maintain consistent indoor temperatures, and create a more comfortable home.
