01 / THE ATTIC SYSTEM
The ceiling separates.
The air barrier belongs between living space and the attic. Sealing accessible leaks helps keep heated indoor air from reaching cold attic surfaces.
THE ATTIC SYSTEM
Keep the heat.
Manage the moisture.
A good attic plan considers where heat moves, where indoor air escapes and how the roof space is ventilated.
THE WHOLE ATTIC MATTERS
A better attic.
Every part connected.
Insulation works best as part of a plan for heat, air and moisture. Explore the five connected details below.
Keep indoor air where it belongs.
Seal accessible ceiling penetrations, gaps and the attic-hatch perimeter with suitable materials. The aim is to reduce warm, moist indoor air leaking into the attic.
R-50 or R-60, with consistent coverage.
Choose the finished level for the attic and project. The insulation material, coverage and manufacturer’s installation requirements determine the depth and quantity needed.
Open soffits. A clear air path.
Check soffit intake openings and use suitable baffles to keep insulation out of the intended airflow path at the eaves. A baffle cannot create an intake where the soffit is closed.
Intake and exhaust work together.
Review the roof exhaust arrangement alongside available soffit intake and the roof geometry. Adding exhaust alone does not correct ceiling air leaks or blocked intake.
Moisture needs a direct route out.
Connect bathroom exhaust ducts to suitable outdoor outlets. Insulate cold-attic runs and seal the connections and ceiling penetrations; household exhaust and attic ventilation serve different purposes.
THE PARTS HAVE DIFFERENT JOBS
Understand the connections.
02 / THE ATTIC SYSTEM
The insulation resists.
Insulation slows heat transfer. Consistent coverage and the correct product-specific installed level matter alongside the labelled R-value.
03 / THE ATTIC SYSTEM
The air path stays open.
Soffit intake, baffles and roof exhaust work as a ventilation arrangement. Bathroom fans still need their own direct outdoor route.
Assess before adding.
The scope begins with the material already in the attic and the conditions around it. The review can identify uneven coverage, accessible ceiling leaks, blocked eaves, hatch concerns and disconnected exhaust ducts.
Signs of wet material, roof leakage or existing contamination need assessment before they are covered. The proposed work should identify what is included and any separate repairs or specialist work needed.
Plan the order.
Where practical, accessible ceiling sealing and duct corrections come before the insulation top-up. Baffles and access containment are prepared so the new insulation can provide coverage without blocking intended airflow.
