This video will show how to insulate an attic, step by step, with precut batts and rolls. Insulating your attic is a great way to provide that extra layer that your house needs in order to make your home as comfortable as possible. Review the tools and supplies you’ll need for the job, and we can take you there. Most of insulation comes in rolls or precut fiberglass batts. Either works, but rolls are recommended to quickly cover the area in your attic, which is important when just beginning to learn how to insulate your attic because it’s easier and more accessible for beginners. These both function differently and have different positive points and drawbacks than blown-in insulation. In this video, we’ll talk about how to work around existing insulation or, if there’s no insulation, what materials you’ll need to make sure that moisture is effectively prevented from entering your attic space. Protecting the insulation from objects that produce heat, like light bulbs, and making sure that the attic is appropriately ventilated will also be covered in this video. Watch this video closely and you’ll know how to insulate an attic with either precut fiberglass batts or rolls along with all the proper tools and precautions you’ll need to have along the way.
