Fiberglass and cellulose insulation have been used for attic insulation in Weatherford TX, but why not upgrade to spray foam insulation for many more benefits?
It is always better to hire a professional installation contractor who is knowledgeable about installing attic insulation. Your insulation contractor will know whether you should use spray insulation on the floor of the attic or the roof deck. |
Removing Old Attic Insulation
|
For spray foam insulation to be effective, the old fiberglass or cellulose insulation needs to be removed. Your insulation contractor and the crew will roll up the old fiberglass or vacuum cellulose insulation with an industrial vacuum and clean the area before spraying it.
This is a challenging task and it is best done by an insulation contractor. They will also take care of the proper disposal of the old materials. |
Spraying the Floor versus the Roof Deck
When it comes to attic insulation in Weatherford, TX a common question is whether the roof deck or the floor should be sprayed with spray foam. When you insulate the roof deck with spray foam insulation, your attic will become a semi-conditioned space and it becomes one with the building envelope. You can even use the extra space for storage.
Alternatively, your insulation contractor may suggest that you spray the floor of the attic so that everything below it is within the building envelope which prevents the conditioned air from escaping.

Problems that Attic Insulation Solves
|
PestsPests and rodents are common in attics but when you use spray foam as attic insulation in Weatherford, TX, it will prevent the entry of pests and rodents.
However, if you have an already existing problem of pests, you should first get rid of that before having spray foam insulation installed. |
|
Mold and mildewFiberglass and cellulose insulation do not prevent the entry of mold and mildew which is why you should use spray foam insulation.
Spray foam does not soak up water or allow moisture to sit on it. This prevents the growth of mold. |
|
Settling and shifting insulationCellulose or fiberglass insulation may not be doing a perfect insulation job because of its uneven distribution. When a certain period has passed, blown in cellulose and fiberglass shifts or settles or drifts.
This causes pockets of empty spaces. When installed correctly, spray foam insulation remains intact and will not shrink or move out of place. |
