Attic Insulation

Choose the Right Type of Insulation for Your Attic Use

The attic is one of the biggest sources of heat loss in a home — but also one of the easiest areas to insulate. At EnergyEase, we offer customized attic insulation solutions based on how you use (or don’t use) your attic space.

Whether your attic is empty, used for storage, or even a living area, we have the right insulation method to make your home warmer, quieter, and more energy-efficient — all with minimal disruption.

🌬️ 1. Blown-in Attic Insulation – Ideal for Hard-to-Reach Spaces

If your attic is inaccessible or difficult to move around in, blown-in insulation is often the best and most practical solution.

We apply loose mineral wool through small openings, filling the entire floor area with a dense thermal layer — without needing full access or heavy structural work.

✅ Perfect for tight, hard-to-reach or unused attics
✅ Installed quickly — often in just a few hours
✅ Maximum thermal coverage with minimal disruption
✅ Fire-safe: Euroklasse A1 mineral wool

This is the go-to solution for older houses or top-floor apartments with narrow attic hatches or no flooring.

🪵 2. Soft-Attic Insulation – For Walkable, Accessible Attics

If your attic has enough space to move around, but you don’t actively use it as a living area, soft-attic insulation is a smart, budget-friendly solution. This method involves laying high-quality mineral wool blankets directly over the attic floor, creating a strong thermal barrier without major work.

This solution is often chosen for economic reasons, especially when the attic is not used as a living space and there's no need for frequent access.

When is this method ideal?

  • You rarely enter the attic or only for maintenance
  • You want a simple and efficient insulation layer
  • You’re looking for a cost-effective option with high performance
  • You may still need a small storage zone (if structure allows it)
  • You’d like the flexibility to make changes later

Although this method makes the attic floor largely inaccessible after installation, it remains an excellent choice for homeowners who don’t rely on their attic space. And because the system is not sealed in with construction materials, it’s also easy to adjust or upgrade later if your needs change.

🧱 3. Roof-Level Insulation with Interior Finish – For Living or Storage Use

If you use your attic as a living space or for structured storage, insulating the underside of the roof is the most effective way to ensure comfort and efficiency. At EnergyEase, we follow a smart multi-layered approach that not only insulates, but also protects against moisture and ensures long-term durability.

How it works:

We start by applying a moisture-resistant barrier to protect the interior structure from condensation or water infiltration. Once the space is sealed, we install insulation using EPS, XPS or mineral wool, depending on the technical requirements and your specific needs.

Finally, we finish the surface with clean, modern materials such as plasterboard or wood paneling, ready to be painted or decorated.

Benefits:

  • 🌡️ Keeps the attic warm in winter, cool in summer
  • 🎧 Greatly improves acoustic comfort
  • 🪚 Delivered with a clean, usable interior finish
  • 🔥 All materials meet the highest fire safety standards
  • 💧 Moisture-resistant system for long-lasting performance

This solution transforms your attic into a fully integrated, insulated and safe part of your home — perfect for a guest room, home office, kids' playroom or high-value storage.
