Attic Insulation & Blown-In Cellulose
Since the attic is out of the way, many homeowners believe that their attic has enough insulation. However, 9 out of 10 times it does not. A nationwide study found that the average American attic only has about 1/3 enough insulation to keep the home properly insulated. That is why The Drying Company recommends blown-in insulation, as it forms a dense layer that ensures heat will not escape through the top of your home. When the attic is sufficiently insulated, you can cut heating and cooling costs up to 20%.

This Port Haywood homeowner reached out to us because they were concerned about the insulation in their home. They had rooms that were too cold in the winter that they wanted to make more comfortable.
The attic had three chimneys, each chimney has a couple inches of space between it and the wood framing of the home to prevent fires. This creates a tunnel for conditioned air to escape into the unconditioned attic.
There was minimal fiberglass insulation between the joists that offered little protection for the home against the sweltering attic temperatures int eh summer and freezing air in the winter. In the winter, the attic is the same temperature as outside and cools the ceiling to that temperature. As warm conditioned air rises through the home, it meets the cold ceiling. The warm air gives up its heat, cooling, and falling this cycle is called convective looping. This results in rooms being too cold, hard to heat and cool, and drafts in the home.
To address the uncomfortable rooms in the home. We recommended removing any plywood or debris in the attic. Then we would wrap the chimneys in rock wool, this is a fire-retardant material that can be safely wrapped around the chimney and allows us to blow in insulation up to the Rockwool. Then we would install an additional R-38 of blown in cellulose insulation on top of the existing fiberglass insulation. If the homeowner chooses this approach to insulating their attic, they will have less heat transfer to the rooms below the attic meaning air they pay to heat and cool will stay in the home longer. This will help to even the temperatures in the home, making the rooms and the homeowners more comfortable.
