Attics and Ceilings

Insulation in attics or ceilings is necessary to regulate temperature, improve energy efficiency, control moisture, reduce noise transmission, and protect the structural integrity of the home. It is an essential component of creating a comfortable and energy-efficient living environment.

Attics & Ceilings

It Starts At The Top

Attics are one of the largest sources of heat gain and heat loss in a home or building.  Conditioned air that you’ve paid to heat or cool can escape outside through leaks in attic ductwork or seams in the ceiling, raising your utility bills and making your home less comfortable.

Spray-applied polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation in the attic or on the ceiling stops uncontrolled air leakage to give you control over indoor temperatures and keep energy costs under control.

Using open-cell or closed-cell SPF insulation can help manage these impacts very easily with a couple of different approaches.  Installing SPF insulation will improve comfort and the indoor air quality of the home, while providing heating and cooling savings.

  • Vented Attics - Applying SPF to the attic floor (on top of the drywall ceiling) improves your building air tightness and helps stop air infiltration from your attic space (with all the dust, humidity, allergens and other stuff that comes with it) from entering your home.
  • Unvented Attics - Applying SPF to the underside of the roof deck turns your attic into a conditioned or semi-conditioned space, eliminating the huge temperature difference between the attic and the livable space. This improves the overall comfort of the home. Using closed-cell SPF adds structural and secondary water resistance benefits.

Benefits of Insulating Attics and Ceilings with SPF:

  • Reduce energy and improve comfort
  • Prevent risk of moisture damage
  • Improve durability and resiliency against natural disasters
  • Control noise transfer
  • Provide an airtight design against the elements

BASF Solutions for Attic & Ceiling Applications

Construction with BASF open-cell spray polyurethane foam applied
ENERTITE®

ENERTITE® is a low-density, open-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation that provides air sealing, sound absorption and thermal insulation, allowing you to better control your indoor environment and create more energy efficient, comfortable and healthier homes and buildings. Applied as a liquid, this water-blown foam quickly expands to many times its original size, completely filling wall and roof cavities.  ENERTITE® easily seals difficult-to-reach areas such as corners and around pipes and wiring to create a seamless seal against air movement.

Construction with BASF closed-cell spray polyurethane foam applied
WALLTITE®

WALLTITE® is a high-performance, closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation that creates a seamless insulating air barrier to help improve the energy efficiency, comfort, and durability of homes and buildings. Spray-applied as a liquid, WALLTITE® expands and adheres to most substrates, flowing into cracks, joints, and hard-to-reach areas to form an airtight seal. Its closed-cell structure also adds rigidity and can help reduce air leakage and moisture intrusion, supporting long-term building performance. WALLTITE® easily seals corners and transitions, as well as areas around pipes, wiring, and other openings.
