How Common is Attic Mould?
Any Ontario homeowner is rightfully startled to learn that there is mould
A properly functioning attic on your Newmarket home requires it to be vented correctly. Airflow travels through the attic space year-round. Proper venting allows the airflow to travel through the attic while preventing hot and cold air energy loss from the home’s interior.
To maintain proper airflow and prevent energy loss, the proper amount of attic insulation is required. Unfortunately, most homes in Newmarket are not sufficiently insulated. Nor do they meet the 2021 building code requirements, which is an R-value of R-60.
Your attic insulation is lacking if you have not built a new home in 2021 or had roofing and attic renovations performed. Even if the house is a few years old, you will still require an attic insulation top up.
When the R-value of attic insulation is below R-60, you lose a percentage of the heated and cooled air from the home’s interior through the attic. For example, if your home presently has attic insulation with an R-value of R-32, you are losing approximately 25% of your home’s heated and cooled air through the attic.
Topping up the attic insulation reduces air transfer loss and lowers your energy bills. By topping up your attic insulation and ensuring it is vented correctly, your attic top up and venting project will quickly pay for itself and continue to do so, year after year.
