The benefits of installing attic insulation can vary from home to home, but for the average home in Gravenhurst, homeowners are able to see a number of different benefits depending on how they upgrade. These benefits include:
Just like any insulation upgrade, attic insulation improvements will reach their full potential with proper air sealing. Strategically air sealing certain areas of your home can make a tremendous improvement to your energy performance and comfort. Quite often, attic insulation and air sealing are one of the most significant improvements a Gravenhurst homeowner can make per dollar of investment. Due to the stack effect, attic insulation and air sealing work to better regulate the air that flows in and out of a home and greatly improve its energy performance when professionally applied.
The stack effect is the term used to describe how air can flow inside a home or building. When the temperature outside of your home is different from the temperature inside, any air leaks in your attic or basement can create large energy losses and drafts throughout your home. By properly air sealing the problem areas and adding attic insulation, Gravenhurst homeowners can effectively mitigate the stack effect in their homes. To start, GNI recommends homeowners arrange to have an airtightness test conducted to locate every air leak within your building envelope.
Yes! Batt insulation makes for terrific attic insulation for Gravenhurst homeowners. Both mineral wool and fibreglass batt insulation can be used. And since they are both fire and water resistant and a type of sustainable insulation, they are excellent choices for attic insulation. GNI recommends that homeowners consider some additional air sealing if they choose to use batt insulation, as it will ensure that the highest levels of performance are reached. Batt insulation can also be combined with spray foam insulation to reach a combination of performance and affordability that also greatly improves air sealing.

Blown in insulation is a fantastic choice for attic insulation in Gravenhurst. With a professional install that accounts for the product’s natural settling, blown in insulation can greatly improve energy performance and comfort throughout your entire home. As a type of sustainable insulation, blown in insulation carries low global warming potential and low embodied carbon. It is able to be considered sustainable insulation because it is locally sourced from recycled materials, and due to the fact that it only uses air as its propellant.
Blown in insulation can also be combined with other types of insulation within the same space. A GNI insulation consultant can help you determine the most cost-effective pathway for adding attic insulation to your home or cottage in Gravenhurst.
If you are looking to winterize your cottage in Gravenhurst, attic insulation is a must. With attic insulation, your cottage will be much easier to keep warm through the winter and it comes with the added benefit of staying cooler longer during the summer. Whether you use electric baseboard heaters, a furnace, or a wood stove, attic insulation makes a cottage more energy efficient and comfortable all year long.
In terms of DIY insulation, GNI recommends that homeowners avoid doing any DIY attic insulation installs or removals for a few reasons. First and foremost, attic insulation installs can be dangerous if not performed correctly, as there are often tight spaces and / or health hazards which could be lurking. GNI will perform old insulation removal if it is necessary, ensuring that all necessary safety precautions are taken into consideration for you and your home.
Also, DIY attic insulation can actually be less cost-effective in the long run, as an insulation consultant can help you determine which areas of your home or attic need the most attention. A professional install can also take into account the natural settling of certain insulation materials, helping to prolong their performance lifespan. In addition to this, a professional air tightness test will also make air sealing much easier and more effective.
If you are a homeowner in Gravenhurst and would like to make cost-effective improvements to your home, attic insulation upgrades are something to consider. To help you get started with your home upgrades, GNI will perform a free insulation assessment on your home.
