Attic Insulation Klarvatten Edmonton

Blown-in attic insulation in Klarvatten, sealed before it is filled

The most common mistake in an Klarvatten attic is blowing insulation over an unsealed ceiling. Warm moist air keeps rising through pot lights, top plates and the hatch, and it carries moisture into cold insulation where it condenses. We air-seal the penetrations first, then insulate.

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

Attic Insulation Klarvatten Edmonton: your questions answered

How do I know I got the depth I paid for?

We leave depth markers through the attic so the installed depth can be read off by anyone afterwards. Depth is easy to claim and hard to check once the hatch is closed, which is exactly why we mark it.

Do you insulate the attic hatch too?

Yes. It is a direct opening between the house and a space at outdoor temperature, and it is usually the first place we look when someone says a hallway or landing is cold.

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 Klarvatten 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 will this save me on heating?

We will not put a percentage on it. Too much depends on your air leakage, windows and furnace. We will tell you what depth you have now, what you would have after, and where the leaks are — those we can actually measure.

Can you just blow on top of what is already there?

Usually yes, if the existing insulation is dry, undisturbed and not contaminated. If it is wet or shows rodent activity it comes out first, because topping over that seals the problem in rather than fixing it.
