Attic Insulation in Orillia

If you’re planning to insulate your attic, and if you’re shopping for attic insulation in Orillia, a few things are worth considering.  For example, it’s critical to choose the right insulation product, and it’s critical to choose the right contractor for the job.  Since you’re the customer, it’s important for you to understand the job itself - like your intentions and objectives.  The more you understand, the better – you’ll be making better decisions throughout the life of the project.  As for choosing the right contractor, an established and reputable company is the best bet.

Attic insulation for GNI always begins with sealing.  We seal every hole, opening, crack and crevice, making for an attic space that is totally airtight.  Sealing assures that the insulation product will perform to full potential and provide significant energy savings during the coldness of winter and the hotness of summer.  Sealing properly and insulating effectively allows for the most efficient “system” - an attic space that is sealed, ventilated, and insulated.  It’s a “system” that will deliver substantial homeowner benefits, both in the short term and the long term.

A number of insulation products are suitable for the attic.  But today, most insulation professionals have come to the conclusion that spray foam insulation is the very best.  Indeed, it has become a favorite at GNI, and has turned into the “go to” product for large and expansive spaces like attics.  Over and over again, spray foam has proven itself as the best on the market.  It has more benefits than the other products, and offers the highest R-Value when comparisons are made.  For Great Northern Insulation, the spray foam product has quickly become the preferred installation.

In an application, the spray foam product is “sprayed” into a space like the attic with specialized equipment that allows the foam to spread out uniformly.  It hardens into a thick, dense blanket of insulation, completely coating everything – the wooden support beams, the plumbing pipes, the HVAC ductwork, and all of the electrical cables and wiring.  The finished insulated space has the highest R-Value of any product, and simultaneously provides an impermeable barrier to both air and moisture.  There is, quite simply, no better way to insulate the attic, and no better product.

Another product to consider for the attic is “blown-in” insulation.  This product is available in either fiberglass or cellulose and is an affordable application for any budget.  “Blown-in” insulation has a “fluffy” nature, and is intended to restrict airflow in the attic – it makes for a very effective insulator and is ideal for the attic space.  It’s fire resistant, mold and mildew resistant, and prevents insects and rodents from gathering.  When this product is properly installed, it can be applied on top of any existing insulation, and will provide a first-rate “thermal blanket” with first-rate R-Value.

For the best in attic insulation, the team at GNI suggests a “hybrid” approach.  This is a combination of the spray foam product AND the blown-in product.  Depending on the application, the installer uses the spray foam product WITH the fiberglass blown-in product, OR the spray foam product WITH the cellulose blown-in product.  The spray foam product seals and insulates, and the “blown-in” insulation provides added insulation and excellent dollar-value per installed inch.  GNI routinely recommends the “hybrid” approach for its exceptional insulation value and it’s excellent cost value.
