Attic Insulation Port Colborne

Blown-In Insulation

At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we recommend blown-in insulation because it is a flexible and efficient insulation option for homeowners looking to enhance their property’s energy performance without major renovations. Our contractors use a loose-fill insulation material like fiberglass or cellulose insulation to fill tight corners, joist cavities, and hard-to-reach areas. These are sections in your attic hatch where traditional insulation often falls short.

This insulation technique is especially beneficial for older Port Colborne homes or those undergoing retrofits. It’s installed using specialized equipment that evenly distributes the insulation material to minimize gaps and thermal bridging. Blown-in insulation improves your home’s energy efficiency, provides soundproofing, and indoor comfort.

Therefore, it is an excellent choice for attics, walls, and areas with wiring or pipes as it offers a smart balance between performance and value. Let our insulation experts assess your attic and help with the blow-in insulation installation.

Spray Foam Insulation

Another insulation option we often recommend is spray foam insulation. Once applied, it expands instantly to seal cracks, joints, and gaps, creating a seamless barrier against air, moisture, and even pests. This type of insulation is ideal for Port Colborne’s ever-changing weather. This is because it provides thermal resistance and superior air sealing.

Its versatility makes it a preferred option for roofs, walls, crawl spaces, and basements. Spray foam also enhances R-value performance and ensures stable indoor temperatures year-round. If you need to add spray foam insulation to your attic, get in touch with us.

Batt Insulation

Also known as blanket insulation, batt insulation is a cost-effective insulation solution for homeowners who want insulation installed during or in open-frame construction. It’s made from fiberglass or mineral wool and is pre-cut panels that fit snugly between studs, joists, and rafters.

The installation process is straightforward, making it a go-to option for new builds and larger-scale renovations. It’s best suited for areas with few obstructions, such as unfinished walls, attic floors, and basement ceilings.

While it may not mould to irregular surfaces like spray foam or blown-in insulation, batt insulation offers dependable thermal performance. It is a common material for insulation and is often used in combination with other insulation techniques.

Our Attic Insulation Services = Smart Choice

When you choose to work with Niagara Roofmasters Inc., you will enjoy the following benefits of insulating your attic appropriately.

Save more Money

Installing efficient insulation in the attic improves energy efficiency. When no conditioned air is escaping through the attic, your HVAC system works efficiently. No energy loss means more savings on your monthly energy budget. From our experience, you could save more than 10 percent of your energy costs by installing efficient insulation in your attic.

Improve Your Indoor Comfort

Proper insulation ensures a consistent temperature in your home throughout the year. Consistent temperature levels improve comfort and contribute to energy efficiency. For instance, during the sweltering summers in Ontario, a well-insulated attic can prevent loss of conditioned indoor air.

Let our certified contractors help you maintain a comfortable indoor environment by adding insulation to your attic.

Keep Moisture Problems at Bay

Let our insulation professionals add loose fill insulation or blown insulation to your attic and prevent moisture-related damage. As mentioned earlier, moisture can cause mold growth, wood rot, and other damage to the attic floor and the roofing system.

In Port Colborne, where humidity levels can be high, attic insulation can help prevent moisture levels from getting too high. It is a barrier that prevents moisture from seeping into your home’s attic space and other areas.

The Right Insulation Type for Your Port Colborne Home

When you first contact us or enquire about our insulation services, we’ll focus on understanding your needs. You can schedule a free consultation and talk to a certified and experienced insulation expert about your project. We’ll then perform an on-site inspection to assess the existing insulation.

Our insulation professionals will pay attention to the R-value level of the insulation material, consistency in coverage, and the condition of the existing insulation. This inspection process will allow us to determine whether there’s adequate insulation that meets the local building codes.

During the initial inspection, we will also check for signs of insulation damage and determine if you need more insulation. Here are the factors we consider when recommending an insulation material or technique to our clients.

Insulation R-Value

R-value is the ability of an insulation material to resist heat flow. It plays a key role in maintaining a consistent indoor temperature. Insulation materials with a high R-value are considered more effective than those with a low R-value. Work with our contractors to understand the R-value of rigid foam insulation and other insulation options to make an informed choice.

Consider Your Attic Space

Now that you know the right insulation option with your desired R-value, you will want to determine if your preferred insulation type is right for your attic. Our experienced insulation experts will first identify and seal all possible air leaks. All gaps around metal chimneys, electrical boxes, exhaust fans, rafter vents, ceiling joists, and wall studs can allow conditioned air to escape.

When prepping your attic for insulation, we will first seal these gaps using caulk, fire-rated insulation material, or weather stripping. Remember, we aim to create an airtight barrier to improve the overall efficiency of your new insulation.

Other Considerations

Perhaps you’re wondering whether the insulation in your attic is enough. Let our team inspect your building and determine your home’s insulation level. At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we understand that certain areas in the attic often pose a health and fire hazard. That’s why we will address various concerns before adding insulation. Remember, these concerns can only be identified during inspection.

For instance, we can identify corroded electrical wiring or other related issues that must be addressed before adding blown insulation. Recessed lights are hard to air seal and could cause a fire if covered with insulation. That’s why our team often recommends replacing such lights with airtight recessed lighting fixtures that can be safely installed under insulation.

After our team has sealed your attic, ventilation is the second line of defence against moisture or water vapour that might find its way into your attic. Proper ventilation prevents the formation of ice dams at the roof eaves. Our contractors will ensure the existing soffit vents, ridge vents, and all other necessary openings in your attic are working efficiently.

At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we pay attention to every aspect of your attic ventilation and insulation. We will even assess the ventilation space in the rafter section to determine if it is enough to ensure sufficient airflow between the insulated sections. In some cases, we install rafter vents in the rafters to ensure sufficient ventilation.

Regardless of the complexity of your project, our team will work with you to ensure your attic ventilation and insulation meet the strict local building codes.

 Customized Attic Insulation Services

At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we have been in the insulation industry for more than 25 years. We understand that no two insulation projects are the same. For instance, insulating the attic in a 1-story bungalow is easier than insulating cathedral ceilings. Similarly, spray foam insulation is often considered the gold standard, but some projects may require other types of insulation.

That’s why our team implements a personalized approach to ensure our insulation solutions meet your attic ventilation and insulation needs. Contact us today and schedule a free consultation. Once you’re ready to sign up for our insulation services in Port Colborne, you can expect the following;

Cost of Attic Insulation in Port Colborne

The cost of insulating an attic in Port Colborne homes ranges from $1,680 to $3,125. However, the exact cost of your project will depend on the size of your attic, the specific material you want installed, and the overall complexity of your project. In terms of materials, here’s a detailed cost breakdown.

On average, insulating an attic costs between $1.50 and $3.50 per square foot. The final price depends on factors such as the insulation type, the condition of your existing insulation, and how easily your attic can be accessed.

The price may be higher if additional layers are needed or the attic space is hard to reach. At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we take the time to assess your attic thoroughly. From the attic hatch to the farthest corners, we ensure complete coverage that boosts energy efficiency and reduces heating and cooling costs.

Keep in mind that efficient attic insulation creates an effective vapor barrier between the interior wall and the exterior walls. Work with our team to assess your brick repair or attic insulation project and create a detailed budget that outlines costs and the project timeline.
