Steps To Replace Old Attic Insulation

Remove and Dispose of Old Insulation

Start by removing the current insulation and disposing of it properly. To ensure no harmful particles escape into the air, place the insulation into a plastic bag and tie it tightly. Protect yourself by wearing goggles, a mask, and gloves.

Inspect and Caulk Gaps

Next, inspect the gaps around wires and caulk them to prevent drafts. Caulking also helps protect your house against animals and insects. To seal the gaps, install a vapor barrier.

Buy New Insulation Material

Then, buy the new insulation material. For ideal results, use fiberglass batts, which can be easily unrolled into place. Fiberglass batts are also cheaper and easy to maintain.

Measure and Install Fiberglass Batts

Accurately measure the space between the joists to put the correct fiberglass batt width, which also eliminates the need for cutting the batts. When installing the insulation, start working from the walls towards the center to avoid trapping yourself. Set the batts in place and unroll them between the joists, pressing them gently to avoid damage.
