types of attic insulation used in hot and cold climates

Types Of Attic Insulation In Hot And Cold Climates

Attic Insulation• Attic insulation installation is one of the essential

factor for the house which experience the extreme cold and hot climate to keep the temperature moderate all day.

• The attic insulation is the process covering the house with certain type of materials to suite the climatic condition prevailing in the specified region.

• There are many type of insulation process being used since ancient times. Some are listed below

Types Of Attic Insulation

• The evolution of insulation(athoins.blogspot.com/2016/02/evolution-of-home-insulation.html) process is the worth noticing process, as in each and every type the disadvantageous factors are overcome.

• Despite number of types used in insulation process, there are certain types of insulation most commonly used depending on the season.

Hot Climatic Region• In hot regions, the temperature will be very hot and

this type of temperature occurs in the arid and desert area.

• In certain countries, the extreme hot prevail only during summer so the need of attic insulation is avoided and they cope with the temporary hot climate with the electric machineries and some energy saving methods

• Some of the energy saving methods are - http://www.slideshare.net/leeshin12/energy-saving-methodologies-in-addition-to-attic-insulation

Rolled In Attic Insulation

• The insulation done in hot climatic region should be done along with the implementation of radiant barrier in order to increase the efficiency of the insulation type used.

• Rolled attic insulation is made up of fibrous materials and this is the expensive among other insulation types.

• The rolled insulation installation and replacement process is very easy due to the flexibility in the materials used.

Blown In Attic Insulation• It is essential to use radiant barrier in this type of insulation

also.

• As the name implies the insulation process is done by blowing the think layer in the specified region.

• This type of insulation is made of cellulose or fiberglass type.

• They are cheaper but requires the help from the experts for the effective installation process.

Cold climatic region

• The cold climate not just implies breezy and long time moisture climate, the region said to experience extreme cold if the temperature goes below 20 degree Celsius.

• The ice dams and the snow storms are predominant in certain region, the high cold temperature gives rise to many disease with the people with less immunity.

• The common type of insulation done in cold regions are mentioned below

Loose Fill Cellulose Insulation• Cellulose is the type of insulation materials which is

considered to be the eco-friendly process of insulation implementation.

• The loose fill cellulose is installed by blowing the cellulose materials (recycled newspaper) in the wall and the floor.

• This helps to withstand the amount of cold air entering into the house.

• This is also the cheaper means of insulation process• More about cellulose insulation-

Rock Wool Batt Insulation

• The wool is meant to restrict the cold temperature.

• The rock wool is the insulation materials which are designed to double the effect of the insulation.

• This is the fiberglass insulation types. This is also called as the mineral wool and these are man-made wool to serve many purpose like soundproof, fire-resistent, etc…

• These are some of the technique employed during the attic insulation installation process in the hot and cold climatic region.
