What’s more, attic insulation can affect the ventilation and moisture level of your roof, contributing to water damage issues. We don’t want that to happen.

Stay Warm and Save on Costly Energy with Attic Insulation in Lafayette

No one wants to live in a cold, drafty home but sometimes the solution isn’t clear. Turning up the thermostat can help, but that leads to higher and higher energy bills. The problem could be your attic insulation! Lafayette homeowners turn to Bone Dry Roofing for top quality attic insulation that will keep them warm and drive down energy costs. 

Each month you pay utility bills for heating or cooling. Where does the energy that you pay for go? Without proper insulation, much of it is lost. According to the National Society of Heating and Ventilation Engineers, 44% of energy loss occurs through walls and ceilings. One way to reduce energy loss is by properly insulating your attic. Bone Dry Roofing can help with highly efficient, highly effective insulation solutions that work to stop energy loss and keep you more comfortable while reducing your monthly energy expenditures.

Benefits of New Insulation

Insulate Your Home and Your Budget

When you insulate your attic, you also insulate your wallet from unnecessary expenses.
  • Saves You

    Help cut heating and cooling energy bills by up to 20%.
  • Extends Life

    Ventilation and insulation work in tandem with the roof to prevent attic moisture on decking, ice dams, and premature failure of the life of your roof.
  • Moisture Resistant

    The products we recommend will not absorb moisture because the glass fibers resist dampness that reduce effectiveness.
  • Resists Mold & Fungus

    Inorganic glass fibers resist fungus or mold growth.

Protection & Comfort

Advantages of Adding Attic Insulation

Creating A Thermal Barrier

Bone Dry Roofing’s insulation creates a high R-value thermal barrier that traps heat, keeping your home warmer and balances the temperature difference between your roof and attic. Keeping your roof cooler can help keep your home comfortable and greatly extend the life of roofing materials. 

Year 'Round Comfort

During the summer the process is reversed. Hot air trapped in your attic is prevented from seeping down into your nice, cool living space by a blanket of insulation. So, your air conditioning system runs more efficiently and keeps you comfortable at a reduced energy cost.

What is an Ice Dam?

Ice dams form when an uninsulated (or poorly insulated) attic warms the underside of the roof deck. Snow or ice on the exterior surface melts and runs off, only to refreeze when it reaches the roof’s exposed edge. This can create a solid wall of ice that blocks additional flow. Water can then back up under your roof shingles and into your home, which can result in expensive damage. But a properly insulated and ventilated attic means your roof stays cooler, which helps to slow melting and prevent the formation of ice dams.

Attic Insulation FAQ

Blown-in insulation is most effective in the attic space of a home. 80% of a home’s efficiency is directly related to what is in the attic.
We install blown-in insulation into wall cavities and attic spaces.
Attic insulation lengthens the life of the roof by preventing warm air entering the attic. Warm air in an attic space is the perfect formula for creating condensation. A wet, condensating attic can damage decking, cause water stains on drywall, and has the potential to grow mold in the attic space.
Installing insulation while installing a new roof is ideal. As such, we won’t need to enter the home to install, as all work can be completed from outside.
90% of homes are either under insulated or insulated incorrectly per the Department of Energy. It is always a good idea to take advantage of our free insulation inspections.
“R” value is the industry standard to rate insulation. “R” stands for resistance to heat flow. The higher the “R” value, the greater the insulating power.
Typical “R” values of blown-in attic insulation are 3.5 per inch with a recommendation of an R-60 in the attic space, or 20” of total insulation. The higher the “R” value, the more insulating power, but also the more insulation needed.
Our insulation inspectors use high quality thermal imaging to determine the amount of insulation in the walls and attic and to inspect for potential air leaks. This allows us to see areas of your home where heat is escaping, giving us all the information needed to solve your insulation problem.
Per the Department of Energy, every inch of insulation added to your home can save you approximately $100 annually on energy bills.
Bone Dry Roofing installs Pro-Cat insulation from Owens Corning. This contractor grade blown-in insulation has a settling rate of less than 1%.
It is not necessary to remove old blown-in insulation before installing new insulation. In some cases, however, if the insulation is wet or soiled (for example, if a raccoon or other pest moved into your attic), it is wise to remove the old, affected insulation.
A typical attic insulation project ranges from 3-6 hours on site.
A cold spot in the home is a signifier that there are areas in the attic that are significantly under insulated. By contacting Bone Dry Roofing, we can inspect your attic space to determine the best course of action for more comfortable living.
