Attic Insulation South Terwillegar Edmonton

Attic top-ups in South Terwillegar that hold their depth

Attics in South Terwillegar 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
• Baffles kept clear so the soffit vents still breathe
• Blown-in loose-fill to the depth your permit specifies
• Depth markers left in place so the result is verifiable
• Air sealing at pot lights, top plates and the attic hatch

Attic Insulation South Terwillegar Edmonton: your questions answered

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.

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.

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.

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 South Terwillegar house and the parts a general top-up misses.

Can you blow insulation over my pot lights?

Only if they are rated for contact with insulation. Older fixtures need clearance and have to be boxed or replaced. Either way they are significant air leaks, so they get sealed first.
