Ventilation is crucial to the life and effectiveness of every roofing system. An improperly ventilated attic can cause heat to build in excess of 160°F. This superheated air eventually penetrates the ceiling insulation into the living area below. Vapors and condensation can cripple R-values and encourage hidden decay in the building structure.
Do you have poor ventilation in your home?
Types of damage that can result include:
- Premature aging of your roofing system
- Warping, cracking, or breaking down of wood framing
- Damage to siding, exterior or interior paint, and wallpaper
- Higher energy costs
The lack of good home ventilation can cause not only unpleasant odors, but common products and fixtures can cause irritation, health problems from mold and mildew, and even dangerous gases from combustion sources and from common items found in the average home.
Adding insulation to your attic is a blast with the AttiCat® Insulation Blowing Machine! It conditions the AttiCat® Expanding Blown-In PINK Fiberglas™ Insulation by breaking it up and fluffing it, adding millions of the tiny air pockets that give the material its insulating power. The insulation is conditioned further throughout the length of the hose, and as it bounces its way up to your attic, more and more air pockets are added, increasing its insulating power even more. And since Fiberglas™ insulation will not settle, it will keep its energy-saving R-value over time.
