Why Insulate Attics?
The attic is one of the biggest gateways of heat in your home. Naturally, hot and cold air make upward and downward movements, thus, the attic easily makes a good heat escape route. About 70 to 80 percent of energy loss in homes accounts for heating/cooling, which not just compromises the overall comfort but also translates to money wasted.
Attics are situated just below the roof, enabling it to experience various methods of heat transfer. Since it is connected to the roof, it can easily heat up through conduction and convection. Meanwhile, for homes utilizing the attic as a storage space, it also directly receives heat from the outside through the windows and vents.
Though attics are usually enclosed spaces, the attic floor becomes a heat conductor. With its dimension, it can easily affect the whole house’s temperature.
