Heat flows naturally from a warm place to a cooler space. In the winter, heated air will try to flow to an unheated garage, basement or attic. Conversely, in warm months, heat will try to flow from the outdoors into the cool interior of the home. The majority of this heat transfer in homes takes place in the attic.
It’s the role of insulation
to prevent this unwanted circulation throughout your home. Combined with proper
ventilation and a radiant barrier, proper insulation helps your home maintain a
comfortable, uniform temperature throughout the year with significantly less
use of heating and cooling systems. As a bonus, insulation can also act as a
sound absorber, to help make your home quieter.
