Insulating your ceiling is always a great idea especially if you live in a cold climate zone and want to keep your home warm and cozy. The process will stop heat loss caused by dissipation through the ceiling and will keep your house warm in cooler weather and cool in warmer weather.
It is a great way to economize on the cost of fuel and heating bills, which tend to rocket in the winter as we strive to keep our homes warm. The padding materials keep the heat from escaping so you need less heating.
Since hot air rises, it gathers in the top of a building and dissipates from there. That is why ceiling insulation is the most effective way to insulate your home; by stopping the heat from escaping through the ceiling and trapping it in the building, your home is kept warm.
There is a great variety of insulation types to choose from, the most popular being infusion mat suplliers, rock wool batt and blown-in. Residential foam insulation is more expensive and can be problematic. If you want to do it yourself, then the fiberglass batt type is the simplest and easiest option. Although it is widely regarded to be the most effective form of padding, it is also very expensive.
If you do decide to install fiberglass batt insulation yourself, it is essential to ensure that you do not leave any gaps and do not block ceiling vents.
A less expensive option for insulating your ceiling is blown-in fiberglass kind. Unfortunately, this method is less effective and the work must be carried out by specialized professionals, although the cost is still lower than installing fiberglass batt yourself. To combat the lower effectiveness, you could have a double layer of fiberglass, cellulose or Rockwool blown in; they are all equally effective.
