Chatsworth Attic Insulation

By adding attic insulation to their Chatsworth homes, residents can make their properties more energy efficient. One of the main reasons this is true, is that properly installed additional insulation reduces the transfer of heat between the interior of a home and the exterior.

In warm climates, fiberglass and cellulose can prevent solar heat from entering the home. Unwanted additional heat from the sun can drive up cooling costs. In cooler areas or during cooler parts of the year, these same effectively installed insulation materials will trap heat inside the home and prevent it from escaping. Avoiding heating loss reduces winter heating costs.

Another benefit that insulation offers is the reduction of sound moving between floors of the home, which is especially important if the attic space in a Chatsworth home is being used as another bedroom or office.

Tradeoffs between Fiberglass and Cellulose Attic Insulation for Chatsworth

Existing and new Chatsworth homes can use either fiberglass or cellulose insulation in the attic. Cellulose is an excellent solution to the insulation needs of existing homes where the walls are covered and the space behind them inaccessible. Fiberglass offers a stable level of thermal insulation and can be installed in any open area. Contractors can lay it in sheets to increase the amount of insulation.

At Progressive Insulation & Windows, contractors and residents of Chatsworth will find formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation or traditional fiberglass insulation for attics. The manufacturing process by which both are produced is environmentally responsible and leads to higher air quality through the reduction of pollutants.
