Attic Insulation

Home insulation creates a barrier that separates your living spaces from extreme outdoor temperatures in Middle Tennessee. It’s important to insulate several areas in your home, but there’s one that’s often overlooked even though it provides superior protection—your attic. 

At E3 INNOVATE, we take a whole-home approach to air sealing and insulating , working on both new and existing homes, as well as multi-family buildings. We’ve been providing high-performance insulation services throughout Nashville and surrounding areas since 2008, and offer customized solutions to improve energy efficiency and comfort. 

Types of Attic Insulation 

Attics are a common source of energy loss in Middle Tennessee homes because they are often left vulnerable to both heat transfer and airflow. High-quality insulation materials, like cellulose or spray foam, provide superior protection in a few ways:

1. Cellulose & Fiberglass Blown Insulation helps slow heat transfer by creating a layer of coverage with a material made from recycled newspaper. It is often installed as loose-fill, but can also be densely packed to help prevent air leakage.

2. Spray Cellulose Insulation has been promoted by E3 in new construction as a hybrid option along with spray-foam insulation as a preferred Grade 1 installation.

3. Spray-Foam Insulation is a crucial component of creating an encapsulated semi-conditioned attic because it both air seals and insulates. This all-in-one product helps create a strong barrier of protection that brings your attic space into your home’s building envelope. Conditioned attics are a good choice if your home’s HVAC equipment is located in the attic or if you want to make the area a living space.   

Benefits of Aire Sealing & Attic Insulation

For the best performance from your insulation upgrades, it’s important to both insulate and air seal. Combining these essential services offers full protection with benefits including:

- Improved Efficiency: Because insulation and air sealing strengthen your home’s thermal barrier, they improve energy efficiency and reduce energy usage in your whole home.

- Better HVAC Performance: Without as much energy loss, your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard to meet demand, which can extend its lifespan. Insulation and air sealing are also crucial in heat pump performance by reducing your home’s electric load.

- Enhanced Home Comfort: Insulation and air sealing in your attic will make your home’s living spaces more comfortable year-round, especially rooms on your second level. 

- Healthier Indoor Air: Combining insulation and air sealing prevents moisture intrusion and closes off the point of entry for common pollutants, improving your home’s indoor air quality.
