What is the standard for the height of the attic insulation ?

• Value Insulation is important because it indicate the ability for the insulation to resist heat flow. The ability of insulation material to reduce heat flow is called its R-value. The greater the R-value, the more this heat flow is reduced. When assessing your insulation, it needs to think of heat transfer. Example heat leaves your home in the winter and heat comes in from outside in the summer, or we insulate a freezer so heat does not get in rather than cold getting out.  R-Value is not the only thing to consider when choosing the insulation you use in your home. Air tightness is as important if not more important. Air leakage accounts for 40% of a home’s energy loss.  By tightening your home the insulation will be much more effective, this is why spray foam is so superior to fiberglass batts. Other examples of foam being superior to batt insulation would be freezers, water heaters and refrigerators. Normally , we already help out our customer to increase from R12 or less at 4 inch or less to minimum height of R50 , which is around 16 inch height , As you know , the building code is just required at R40 , yes , we insulated to R50 because we never cut the corner for our customer .
