Air Sealing

Air Sealing

The first step of proper attic insulation is air sealing, which prevents airflow between a home and the attic. Proper air sealing helps keep temperature-controlled air in your home. When air that has been heated or cooled leaks from your home, your comfort can be impacted; it also makes your heating and cooling system work harder to keep the temperature stable, costing you energy and money.

Professional Review

At Hayes Insulation our insulation estimators can review your attic for leaks. Leaks can be found around areas such as light boxes, plumbing stacks, and soffit drops. Our team can seal these air leaks with a durable foam air sealing product, or with spray foam insulation designed to add R-value and provide long-lasting air sealing.

Top Plates

If you are remodeling your home or building a new home, we also recommend air sealing top plates. A top plate is also known as the upper wall plate or ceiling plate below the roof and cannot be seen or conveniently accessed in an existing home. Installing air sealing to top plates during your remodel or new home construction can greatly reduce air transfer from your conditioned living space to unconditioned attic space.

Insulation

After air sealing, an attic must be given a layer of insulation for optimal energy saving benefits. Typically, our insulation team will add blown-in fiberglass insulation. Read on for a list of the insulation products offered by our team at Hayes Insulation.

Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation takes care of both air sealing and insulation in one step and with one product. Polyurethane foam is sprayed on leak sources in your attic to stop unwanted air flow and help maintain your home’s temperature year-round. We offer different types of spray foam insulation for use in different attic environments.

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass insulation is a common and highly effective attic insulation solution. When providing all new insulation on a new or remodeled home, our professionals will typically use fiberglass insulation after sealing air leaks. For homes with existing insulation and sealant, an extra layer of fiberglass insulation is added to increase the R-value of the property.
