My utility bills are killing me!
What is the best way to insulate my home—especially in my attic?
First, it’s important
to have a proper
barrier system that seals
off all penetration points
for heat and water in
your home. Be sure all
openings have been caulked
and sealed—around
vents, lighting �xtures
and electrical outlets on
outside walls. Blocking
heat from escaping your
home’s interior in winter
and from seeping into your
home in the summer can
be accomplished by using
insulated roof decking.
There are new radiant
barrier paints and foil
products that can be used
in your attic to re�ect heat
away from the rooms below.
Those will dramatically
affect the ability of your
home’s heating and cooling
systems to be effective, no
matter what’s going on in
your attic space.
