Benefits of Attic Insulation
-
#1: Healthier Home
With the proper insulation not only can you keep out the cold, but also many insulation types can keep out pests such as mice, insects, as well as being mold resistant. The air quality also tends to improve in your home, so that you can breathe in air that is crisper and drier.

#2: Lowers Moisture Content
An insulated basement protects your foundation from freeze and thaw cycles by becoming a barrier. It also helps to ensure that your walls stop “sweating”, which is important in getting rid of mold, mildew, and fungi in your basement. Lastly, a warm basement protects your pipes from freezing.

#3: Reclaim a Room
