A well-insulated attic is essential for any Florida homeowner. It helps to keep the cold air out during the winter and the hot air out during the summer, making your home more energy efficient and comfortable. Blown fiberglass insulation is a great option for attics in hot, humid climates like Florida, as it has an R-value of R-2.5 per inch and is relatively inexpensive compared to spray foam insulation. Sealing and insulating your attic is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your home's energy efficiency.
According to the EPA, homeowners can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs (or an average of 11% on total energy costs) by sealing their homes with air conditioning and adding insulation to attics, floors above mezzanines and basements. Closed-cell aerosol foam insulation is one of the most reliable insulators on the market, with an R-value higher than that of open-cell aerosol foam and other insulating materials. Open-cell insulation is also useful for attic insulation projects, as it fills every space in the attic and acts as an effective air barrier when properly installed by certified experts. Johns Manville kraft coated R-30 insulation is a formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation designed to provide efficient and safe insulation for attics and roofs with wooden structure.
Each kraft coated R-30 insulation bag covers approximately 58.67 square feet, making it a great option for homeowners looking to improve their home's energy efficiency on a budget. This method usually consists of a reflective material, such as aluminum foil, that is installed under the roof cover or inside the attic space.
