Simple Attic Insulation During An Attic Conversion
Whilst doing an attic conversion it is a good time to add or change an attic insulation that you might have in the attic. If you find that your attic already has insulation and that it is in poor condition, this would be the perfect time to change the old insulation for a new one.
If your attic does have a previous insulation, it will have to be fully removed, so it’s a good thing you’re going through a conversion as all of the walls will have to be taken away and the floorboards as well! Pay special attention to how you remove the previous insulation and make sure that it does not get into your mouth and eyes.
Doing a little research before fitting a new insulation will help you decide what one is best for you, the attic space and the money you can spend on the insulation. The best insulation is always the most expensive as it tends to last a lot longer and keeps out condensation and damp. Keep in mind that the more money you spend on your insulation the longer it will last in your attic.
When buying your insulation you also have to keep in mind if you will be fitting it yourself as a DIY job or paying a professional to do the job for you, because there are different types of insulation, some for easy jobs that you can do and others that must be fitted by someone professional. Foam insulation is more expensive and of better quality, fitted by a professional.
After making your decisions about the type of insulation and if you are going to install it yourself or hire a professional, buy all the necessary utilities to make the job easier to follow out. You will need protective clothing and masks, utility tools such as a utility knife and so on. Once all is done and your insulation is fitted, you won’t have to worry about high bills!
