About Charlotte Attic Insulation

Charlotte Attic Insulation is essential for many reasons. Often during home construction corners are cut. While they may pass inspection they are not optimally protecting your home from the temperate changes in seasons. LNI Home’s attic insulation helps lower your energy bills because it helps your house retain more heat in the winter and keep it cooler in summer by reflecting more heat.

After calling LNI Home you won’t have to use your heater or air conditioner on high settings in order to get the desired temperature which naturally reduces your overall usage and decreases the bills. LNI Home provides quality Attic Insulation in Charlotte, Gastonia, Lake Norman, Mooresville, Tega Kay , Rock Hill, Clover, Lake Wylie, Mint Hill, Matthews, Denver, Statesville, Huntersville, Dallas , Shelby, Kings Mountian, Hickory, Lincolnton, Monroe, Harrisburg, Albermarle, Salisbury and all areas in between.

There are different ways to insulate your attic so you should do your research thoroughly before deciding on the best choice for your specific circumstances. You can choose from reflective foil/ radiant barrier, loose-fill, batts, foam insulation or spray insulation. LNI Home always provides our clients options on which insulation they prefer based on cost and future savings.

Before you can start to insulate your attic, you need to seal all air leaks between the attic and the rest of the house because insulation won’t prevent airflow. Cover all openings and seal them completely. Check for marks or water stains which may indicate leaks in your roof. Carry out repairs because wet insulation is useless and can cause damage to your house.

 

Installation of Pink Fiberglass Insulation Batts

Then you need to choose the right type of insulation. The most common form is fiberglass batts. They’re long yellow or pink strips that are easy to install and move if you need to do any work in your attic. You can also use the healthier cotton fiber batts option if you prefer. While this option is cheap it is not the most effective solution.

If you live around Gastonia or Charlotte or nearby cities in North Carolina, Charlotte Attic insulation is an ideal way to reduce your power bills by conserving energy. Regardless of which option you choose, good insulation means that your whole house can be more comfortable to live in, despite extreme temperatures that can occur in the winter and summer months.

Living in air conditioned and heated environments all the time can cause you to become ill, get headaches and if you constantly move from one environment to the next, it can become exhausting.Your air conditioner and heater will not have to run nearly as much after we install new insulation.

Simply by insulating your attic, you can ensure your home will have a more stable temperature all year round. This means you’ll be more comfortable and can get on with enjoying life. Give LNI Home a call today at 704-675-6184 to schedule a free estimate for your Charlotte Attic Insulation project.

Types of Insulation

Foam Insulation

Foam insulation is sprayed and expands on contact with air. The advantage is that it completely fills any area you spray. Unlike batts, there’s not likely to be any leaks or spaces created over time as the house settles and the seasons roll on. It’s a more expensive product but can do a better job so it’s worth considering.

Cellulose Insulation

  Cellulose insulation is another available choice. It’s a cheaper option than the batts but the overall cost may be higher due to the fact that it must be installed by a professional. It’s a loose material that’s blown across the floor of the attic and covers every hole and gap. The cellulose is made from recycled newspapers so it’s the most environmentally friendly option.

Reflective Foil / Radiant Barrier Insulation

Radiant Barrier Insulation Can Be Placed Over Your Existing Insulation!

Reflective foil insulation or Radiant Barrier is yet another choice. It’s light weight, simple to install and very strong. It’s impervious to moisture in both directions and eliminates condensation within your walls and ceiling because it acts like a vapor barrier. You can glue, staple, sew or nail it to almost any material. It’s asthma safe, non-toxic and meets fire safety regulations. This material is more expensive than batts, isn’t as effective in much cooler regions and dust can hinder its overall effectiveness over time. LNI Home is a leading installer of this product.
