Attic Insulation Weinlos Edmonton

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

Attics in Weinlos 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.

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

Attic Insulation Weinlos 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.

How much insulation should my Weinlos 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.

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.

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.

Can I add over the old insulation?

Usually yes, if it is dry, even and uncontaminated. If it is wet, compacted, rodent-affected or hiding unsealed penetrations, removing it first is worth the cost, and we tell you which one we found.

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