Why Upgrading Attic Insulation to R50 Matters for Your Home
When we inspected this attic, we discovered that it only had about 4 inches of insulation — far below today’s standards. According to the BC Building Code, the recommended level for attic insulation is R50. After upgrading the attic to this level, the difference inside the home was immediate: warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and noticeably lower energy bills.
Why Attic Insulation Is So Important
Heat rises, and without proper attic insulation, up to 25% of your home’s energy can be lost through the roof. That means higher heating costs in the winter and poor cooling performance in the summer. With modern insulation materials like R20 Pink Batts layered to reach R50, you can bring your home up to code and significantly improve comfort.
Safety During Installation
Working in attics can be risky. If you step outside the joists or beams, you risk breaking through the drywall ceiling below. At Tile Igos, we take every precaution to protect your home while installing insulation. Our trained team works carefully to avoid damage and ensure your attic is insulated safely and effectively.
