DIY Attic Insulation Tips
Spray foam insulation is a rewarding project that can save money and boost energy efficiency. Before starting, determine the correct R-value for your region to ensure optimal performance. Next, inspect your attic for air leaks or water damage—issues that must be addressed before adding new material.
Always wear protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and masks to prevent irritation from insulation fibers. Measure and mark areas evenly to ensure consistent coverage. Avoid compressing insulation, as this reduces its effectiveness.
Safe and Effective Installation
Be mindful of electrical wiring, recessed lights, and vents while working. Use insulation supports or barriers around heat-producing fixtures to prevent fire hazards. Materials like fiberglass and cellulose are ideal for DIYers due to their easy application. Once installed, seal gaps and add vapor barriers if needed. Proper installation enhances comfort, lowers bills, and ensures long-lasting results.
