Attic Insulation Royal Gardens Edmonton

Attic top-ups in Royal Gardens that hold their depth

Attics in Royal Gardens 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.

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

Attic Insulation Royal Gardens Edmonton: your questions answered

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.

Do I need to seal before adding insulation?

Yes, and it is the part most often skipped. Warm moist air leaking from the house frosts the roof deck and wets the insulation. Blowing over unsealed pot lights and top plates buries the problem instead of fixing 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 Royal Gardens house and the parts a general top-up misses.

Why does my Royal Gardens attic frost up in winter?

Almost always warm moist air leaking up from the house through pot lights, top plates or the hatch, then condensing on cold sheathing. More insulation on its own does not fix it — the leaks have to be sealed first.

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.

Will insulating my attic stop the ice at my eaves?

Often it helps a great deal, because ice damming is usually escaping heat melting snow that then refreezes over the cold overhang. Air sealing plus even coverage to the eaves lowers the deck temperature, which is the actual cause.
