A properly functioning attic is an essential part of your roofing system on your Whitby home. It needs to be vented correctly to allow proper airflow through the attic at different times of the year. Additionally, to stop heated and cooled air loss from the interior of the home, your attic requires the proper level of insulation.
Over the years, here at Logik Roofing & Insulation, our attic insulation contractors in Whitby have discovered most homes in the area have insufficient attic insulation. Why? This is largely in part to the building codes in effect when your home was built. Even recently built homes can be improperly insulated because building codes only require a R32 R-Value rating for attics.
However, even at this level of insulation, you are losing about 25% of your heated and cooled air through the attic. This has a dramatic effect on your hydro and gas bills. By having our attic installation contractors install blown insulation over the existing insulation to an R50 or R60 R-Value rating, you can reduce air loss by as much as 80%!
Imaging the savings this could have on your energy bills! By investing in improving your attic insulation, the cost of the upgraded insulation pays for itself with the energy savings you experience, year after year.
In some cases, the removal of the existing attic insulation needs to be performed prior to adding new insulation. This could be due to a very low R-Value rating, possible damage from roof leaks, and other such issues.
Our insulation experts will evaluate the condition of your current insulation and R-Value rating and provide you with the most appropriate solutions for your home. If we do need to remove the old insulation, we are pleased to offer out two-stage “hybrid” attic insulation system.
This system is where we apply a layer of spray foam insulation for the base and then top it up with blown fibreglass insulation until an even and continuous blanket of protection is created for proper coverage.

With many construction and roofing specialists companies in the market today, choosing a high quality roofing contractor who is properly certified can feel especially daunting.
Attic ventilation is one of the most published roofing topics on the internet today. There are countless articles and blogs available for homeowners from various resources. While many of these articles have similar themes, I have noticed some varying opinions on the importance and benefits of ventilation. I have also noticed that ventilation is sometimes a scapegoat for a deeper, more underlying problem. In today’s article, I want to cover what I feel are the truths about attic ventilation regarding its importance and benefits. I also want to mention where I see ventilation (specifically, the lack of) as being unfairly blamed for issues and deficiencies that have deeper rooted problems. I will also discuss some common products used for attic ventilation.
