Attic Insulation
Upgrade Attic Insulation for Comfort and Efficiency

Our primary goal is to educate customers on the importance of proper insulation. We offer comprehensive solutions that focus on delivering long-lasting results, helping you save throughout the changing seasons.

Attic Insulation Options
At Safe Nest Insulation, we offer several options to suit your attic’s needs, ensuring a tailored solution.
Closed Cell Spray Foam
Provides a high R-value, airtight seal, and acts as a vapor barrier. It is dense and suitable for both the attic floor and ceiling.
Open Cell Spray Foam
A less dense foam that expands more, offering a strong airtight seal and a high R-value. It is an excellent option for both the attic floor and ceiling.
Blown-In Cellulose
Offers a thermal barrier that insulates the attic and protects your living space. This blown-in insulation pairs well with an airtight seal for enhanced performance and is suitable for the attic floor.
Benefits of Attic Insulation
- Enhanced Comfort: Keeps your home cozy by reducing heat flow.
- Lower Energy Bills: Saves money by trapping conditioned air inside.
- Better HVAC Efficiency: Reduces stress on heating and cooling systems, extending their life.
- Improved Air Quality: Blocks pollutants, moisture, and pests, keeping indoor air fresh.
- Ice Dam Protection: Shields your roof from ice build-up in winter.
- Noise Reduction: Creates a quieter living space by reducing outside noise.
Signs Your Attic Needs Insulation
- You’ve noticed high energy bills every season.
- Formation of ice dams on the roof during winter.
- Uncomfortable temperatures in upstairs rooms.
- Frequent indoor drafts felt in different areas.

Guide to Attic Insulation Choices
- Considerations for the Right Insulation: When choosing attic insulation, it’s essential to consider the specific needs of your home for the best results.
- Importance of R-Value: The R-value is a key factor that professionals use to measure how well insulation resists heat flow. Higher ratings mean greater energy cost reduction and improved efficiency.
- Selecting the Best Material: The type of material plays a crucial role in the insulation’s performance. Different options like fiberglass, cellulose, spray foam, and mineral wool offer various thermal properties and resistance to heat flow, making it vital to choose the most effective one for your home.
Deciding Between Attic Floor and Ceiling Insulation
Choosing the Right Area to Insulate
When deciding whether to insulate the attic floor or ceiling, it’s important to consider your home’s specific needs. You typically only need insulation in one area, either the roof, gables, or the attic floor.
Benefits of Ceiling Insulation
Insulating your attic ceiling creates a conditioned space, effectively encapsulating the area to prevent heat and air leakage. This approach is highly recommended for attics with HVAC ductwork, as it keeps the system more efficient.
Advantages of Floor Insulation
Insulating the attic floor adds a protective layer that shields your living space from unwanted heat. Although it doesn’t stop heat from entering the attic, it prevents it from pressing into your rooms, enhancing comfort.
