Attic Insulation

Your attic is one of the largest sources of potential heat loss/gain in your home. Millions of American homes, built as few as 10 years ago, are under-insulated by today’s minimum standards. Homeowners are losing 10-50% of energy each year due to inadequate insulation. Because of this and the rising cost of energy, everyone is seeking new ways to conserve energy and reduce power bills without sacrificing comfort.

Adding more insulation to your existing insulation is best!

Insulation performance is measured by R-value – its ability to resist heat flow. Higher R-values mean more insulating power. R-values are determined by material type, thickness, and in the case of loose-fill insulation, by installed weight per square foot (or density), not by thickness alone. Most homes in the Dallas, Ft. Worth area were built with attic insulation R-value of R-19. Different R-values are recommended for walls, attics, basements and crawlspaces, depending on your area of the country. Currently, the recommended R-value for attic insulation in our area is R-38 to R49.

There is no need to remove your existing insulation and Floors To Ceiling can add insulation to your attic regardless of the existing type of insulation you already have. Adding additional insulation to your home’s attic is great way to achieve maximum insulating power!

Increase your R-value – Conserve more energy – Save money!

Floors To Ceiling installs Owens Corning Pro-pink Fiberglass Loose-Fill insulation in attics. Owens Corning loosefill insulation, also called "blown-in" insulation, is made of virgin PINK FIBERGLAS® Insulation and is used in new construction and in older existing homes, typically in hard-to-reach areas. Since fiber glass insulation is non-combustible and non-corrosive by nature, PINK FIBERGLAS® Loosefill Insulation offers significant advantages over other loosefill insulation products.

• Will not settle or lose its energy-saving abilities over time
• Does not require the addition of fire-retardant chemicals
• Will not rot or decay
• Does not support fungus or mold growth, insects or vermin

Homeowners prefer Owens Corning PINK FIBERGLAS® Insulation 7 to 1 because it maintains insulating power over time. Since fiber glass does not absorb moisture, PINK insulation will not hold water, preventing permanent loss of R-value. When properly installed, PINK FIBERGLAS® Insulation will not settle or deteriorate to maintain insulating value. The insulating materials in PINK FIBERGLAS® Insulation are also noncombustible.
