The performance of your new roof goes a lot deeper than the new shingles. It takes a complete system – including ventilation and insulation products – to maximize performance. These elements work together to provide you comfort, help you save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and extend the life of your roof.
Trapped heat and moisture in the attic can severely jeopardize the performance of a roof. The combination of insulation and a ventilation system helps to keep excessive household moisture and heat out. As a result, the proper conditions and temperature are better maintained in the attic and on the roof deck throughout the year.
Did you know up to 40% of a home's conditioned air escapes through the attic? If your heating and cooling energy costs are going through the roof, there's an easy solution: adding attic insulation and sealing air leaks can help cut heating and cooling energy bills by up to 20%
Do it for your roof, for your budget, and for your planet. Blown-in insulation to your attic can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over half a ton each year. PINK is truly green.
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.
Blowing the insulation should take less than 1.5 hours, and the whole job can be completed in less than 4 hours based on a 1,000 sq. ft. attic at R-30.
