What is Airsulate™?
Airsulate™ is a system of insulation which is made to cover attic floors and other areas where conditioned air is prone to escape when traditional insulation is applied. This covering creates a barrier between the living space and the attic, which keeps in almost all the air which has been supplied to the room through the HVAC system. This superior seal has distinct advantages over traditional insulation for the home’s efficiency and comfort, and when installed by a team of professionals it is the ideal way to insulate your attic floors.
Superior Efficiency
Because the Airsulate™ system creates an airtight barrier between your living space and the attic, conditioned air can’t escape through the ceiling like it would in a traditional insulation setup. Traditionally, fiberglass batt insulation is installed on the floor of the attic, which provides some protection against air leakage but still allows air to pass through. With Airsulate™, you get to keep the air in your space which was heated or cooled by your HVAC system. Since the air stays, the HVAC unit doesn’t have to work as hard to control temperature. This decrease in the workload can lead to significant energy savings and it increases the lifespan of the unit itself.
Fewer Harmful Airborne Substances
The floor of your attic is home to dust, dirt, allergens and other potentially harmful substances. By creating a barrier between the attic and living space, Airsulate™ not only provides superior insulation performance but it also keeps these substances out of your living area. Many clients have noticed a significant difference in air quality after making the switch from traditional insulation. This makes Airsulate™ a must for people who are prone to suffer from airborne allergies.
