Attics and Ceilings
Insulation in attics or ceilings is necessary to regulate temperature, improve energy efficiency, control moisture, reduce noise transmission, and protect the structural integrity of the home. It is an essential component of creating a comfortable and energy-efficient living environment.
Using open-cell or closed-cell SPF insulation can help reduce these gains and losses very easily with a couple of different strategies. Installing SPF insulation will improve comfort, indoor environmental, quality of the home and provide heating and cooling savings.
- Vented Attics - Applying SPF to the attic floor or drywall ceiling has wonderful benefits to improve your building air tightness and to stop air infiltration from your attic space entering into your home.
- Unvented Attics - Applying SPF to the roof deck turns your attic into a conditioned or semi-conditioned space eliminating the huge temperature differences between the attic and the livable space. This improves the overall comfort of the home. Using closed-cell would add structural and secondary water resistance benefits.
Benefits of Insulating Attics and Ceilings with SPF:
- Reduce energy and improve comfort
- Prevent risk of moisture damage
- Improve durability and resiliency against natural disasters
Open-cell
ENERTITE®
ENERTITE® is a low-density, open-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation that provides air sealing, sound absorption and thermal insulation, allowing you to better control your indoor environment and create more energy efficient, comfortable and healthier homes and buildings. Applied as a liquid, this water-blown foam quickly expands to many times its original size, completely filling wall and roof cavities. ENERTITE® easily seals difficult-to-reach areas such as corners and around pipes and wiring to create a seamless seal against air movement.
Closed-cell
WALLTITE®
WALLTITE® is a closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation that creates a seamless, insulating air barrier to improve the energy efficiency, comfort and durability of homes and buildings. Spray applied as a liquid, WALLTITE flows in and around difficult to reach areas, creating a airtight seal.
