Attic Insulation Rapperswill Edmonton

Attic top-ups in Rapperswill that hold their depth

Attics in Rapperswill 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.

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

Attic Insulation Rapperswill Edmonton: your questions answered

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.

How much insulation should my Rapperswill 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.

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.

Will you block my soffit vents?

No. Baffles hold the insulation back at the eaves so air can still move from the soffits to the ridge. A blocked attic gets damp no matter how much insulation is in it.

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 Rapperswill house and the parts a general top-up misses.

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.
