CEILINGS
AND ATTICS
Install Insulation and Provide Ventilation
BENEFITS OF CEILING INSULATION
Insulating ceilings is one of the most cost-effective energy efficiency
measures. In addition to reducing heat loss in the winter and
heat gains in the summer, ceiling insulation improves comfort
by bringing ceiling temperatures closer to room temperatures and
providing an even temperature distribution throughout the house.
When planning and managing ceiling insulation projects, make sure
• Ceiling is properly sealed
• Correct insulation levels are selected
• Insulation is properly installed
• Insulation coverage is continuous and complete
• Attic ventilation is maintained
Attic floors over flat ceilings are often the easiest part of
an exterior building envelope to insulate. They are usually accessible
and have ample room for insulation. However, many homes use cathedral
ceilings or have attic knee walls that present unique insulation
requirements.
