Attic Insulation Falconer Heights Edmonton

Attic top-ups in Falconer Heights that hold their depth

Attics in Falconer Heights lose depth over time — insulation settles, someone crawls through it for a wiring job, and the corners near the eaves are usually thin to begin with. A top-up is only worth doing if the baffles are clear and the ceiling below is sealed, so that is what we check before quoting.

• Attic hatch insulated and weatherstripped
• Existing insulation levelled before the top-up
• Depth markers left in place so the result is verifiable
• Air sealing at pot lights, top plates and the attic hatch
• Blown-in loose-fill to the depth your permit specifies
• Baffles kept clear so the soffit vents still breathe

Attic Insulation Falconer Heights Edmonton: your questions answered

Do you insulate over an addition or a vaulted ceiling?

Those need looking at specifically rather than quoting an average depth. Shallow attics, cathedral sections and knee walls are usually the coldest rooms in an Falconer Heights house and the parts a general top-up misses.

Why is the area above my exterior walls always cold?

Geometry. The roof meets the wall at the lowest point in the attic, so there is least room exactly where it is needed most. Baffles hold insulation back from the soffit vents while letting depth carry over the wall plate.

How much insulation should my attic have?

It is settled depth and even coverage that decide performance, not the product name. We set depth markers before blowing so the result is measurable, and check the corners rather than just the area near the hatch.

How much insulation should my Falconer Heights attic have?

The depth comes from what the code asks for on your permit, not from us. What we can tell you is the depth you have now, whether it is even, and whether the eaves and hatch are dealt with — those three often matter more than the last few inches.

Should I block the vents to stop drafts?

No. The attic is meant to run close to outdoor temperature so the roof deck stays cold. Blocking soffit vents causes exactly the ice damming people add insulation to prevent.

Cellulose or fibreglass?

Both work when installed to depth with the ceiling sealed underneath. Cellulose is denser and resists air movement better; fibreglass is lighter and settles less. We pick based on what is already up there and tell you why.
