Attic Insulation

The best, most energy efficient choice for the cold climate of SE Michigan is blown-in cellulose insulation, and that’s exactly what we install. We can prove it’s better than fiberglass by telling you this one indisputable fact:

Fiberglass insulation loses half its R-Value when the temperature goes below 30 degrees. (R-Value is a measure of resistance to heat flow in any home improvement product that insulates. The higher the R-Value, the better it insulates).

And it doesn’t matter if you are talking about roll out fiberglass (the “pink stuff”) or blown-in fiberglass – they both are less effective when the temperature drops.

Any insulation that needs to stand up to a Michigan winter should not see this kind of big decline in effectiveness every time the temperature drops below freezing – it’s just not the best choice for our region.
