Your attic is one of the most important spaces in your home for energy savings. Insulating the attic helps maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the home in winter and summer, and it can also help prevent ice dams and moisture damage from wood rot. Combined with attic air sealing, attic insulation can provide significant energy efficiency and comfort.

The type of insulation you choose depends on many factors, including climate and your attic size and layout. The R-value of the insulation will also affect its performance and cost. Blanket insulation is available in a variety of thicknesses and R-values to match your needs and budget. Insulation is rated by its resistance to heat flow, and higher R-values typically provide better climate control and energy efficiency.
Before starting your attic insulation project, make sure to air seal the attic first. It’s also a good idea to wear a dust mask while working in the attic. If you plan to use fiberglass rolls, work in a well-lit area to avoid breathing the itchy insulation fibers. Be sure not to lay insulation over soffit vents or recessed “can” lights (unless they are rated IC). Always be careful when crawling around in the attic, and don’t walk on ceiling joists or drywall.
Adding attic insulation is often a moderately difficult do-it-yourself project, but the benefits are substantial. It can be a great way to save energy, reduce bills, and create a more comfortable living environment in your Brooklyn home.
