Insulating the Attic

| Rmx Construction Attic Work |
As homeowners we are constantly worried about the energy costs throughout our stay at our precious homes. We try everything from replacing high energy consuming lighting to CFLs and by moving from conventional to solar energy. The methods while they are different aim to achieve the single goal; lowering energy consumption. We at RMX construction have always been entrusted upon for overlooking the construction intricacies so we would be able to provide you some of our experienced input.
We aim to achieve energy efficiency for several reasons. The one at the top would be to save the preciously earned money next would be to reduce the carbon emissions and finally to conserve fossil fuels which produce our energy.
While all this is done during our stay, we often forget to work on the solution right when we are constructing our perfect home. The most important aspect of the house which can conserve 50-70 percent of energy exhausted while controlling the temperature of the structure would be the Attic insulation. The overall insulation of the attic controls the overall temperature of the house and acts as the energy conserving weapon against the changing temperatures throughout the seasons.
How the insulation does this is by saving the warmth stored in the house during the winter which tends to conduct out from the house and during summers by protecting against the warm winds and temperature that tries to increase the temperature of the house.
How to check the insulation?
The most easiest way to check that is to observe your roof when it has snowed. If you see more snow melted on your roof as compared to those of your neighbours or others around you, that means precious heat is being lost from the house into the atmosphere outside. If you see this sign, it’s time to move the next remodelling session towards your attic.
Let us also look into the details why proper insulation should be your topmost priority:
- Maintain the temperature: As mentioned before, the loss of precious heat stored in your home will cause the house to cool down faster during the winter which is sure to cause discomfort.
- Conserve the environment: With constant need of increasing the temperature of the house due to heat loss, the energy required for the same would go higher exponentially which requires more fossil fuels to be burned, harming the environment more with every passing second.
- Saving the buck: The more the energy used, the higher would be the bill. Extensively working cooling systems will require more energy and thus the result.
With Insulation of the attic RMX construction has observed that homeowners were more satisfied. The drop in the energy requirement was significant and the house felt more comfortable than before. So if you are looking to remodel or build the house of your dream, make sure to not overlook every small aspect that will help you in the longer run.
