attic insulation is the home improvement process which is done most of the time with the help of the professions. though it is done by the professionals, the terminologies should be kept in mind. some of the commonly used technical terminologies are mentioned in these slides

1. Terminologies To Remember
Before Doing Attic Insulation

2. Attic insulation
• Attic insulation installation is one of the home
improvement process which is done to keep the
temperature stable inside the house.
• There are different types of insulation available which
can be chosen based on the needs, location and climatic
condition.
• the attic insulation serves many purpose like energy
saving, pest resistant, noise retarder and reduce the
utility bills.

4. Terminologies Used
• It is good to know the terms and the technical words
used in the insulation process.
• The common folks should be aware of it to question the
insulation contractors about the problem.
• Some of the major technical terminologies used in the
insulation implementation process is mentioned in the
below paragraphs:

5. R-value
• Without this term the insulation process doesn’t not
happen.
• As the first process, the R-value of the house is calculated
by the energy inspectors with the help of the
thermoscan.
• R-value is the ratio of the difference in temperature of
the area to the heat transfer per unit area of the place.
• Depending upon on the R-value, the amount of
insulation is calculated.

7. C-value and A-value
C-value
• This is the measure of thermal conductance.
• The C-value is measured to check the capacity of the
materials regarding the heat transfer.
A-value:
• This is measured to check the noise resistent capacity.
• The value should be less than 55dB.

9. Water Vapor Performance
• In case of insulation done in cold climatic region, it is
necessary to check for this term.
• The moisture is the major problem faced by folks in that
particular area.
• Thus the insulation should be the retarder of the
moisture.
• This terminology checks the rate of water vapor
transmission between the materials.

10. Absorption and Adsorption
• Absorption: the insulation materials should have the
good absorbing capacity to suck the moisture and water.
This is the term which implies the absorbing capacity of
the materials.
• Adsorption: this is the process in which water get
stagnated in the materials. Such materials are resistant to
water.

11. ASJ and SSL
• ASJ(All Service Jacket) : this is the jacket or the
kind of cover which is made up of oil or the
white kraft.
• SSL (Self Sealing Lap): this prevents the
materials from the diffusion of vapors and the
ceiling.

13. • These are some of the terms used in the insulation
process.
• Knowing this will prevent many chaos raised by the
insulation contractors while involved in the process.
• This will reduce the chance of getting cheated by the
contractors, as they may use likewise technical terms to
console the folks.

14. • Aesofutah(http://aesofutah.com) is one of the insulation
service provider in the area of utah. They provide energy
rebates for the customers.
• The company has the efficient energy inspectors to
monitor the energy loss in the house through energy
inspection. They recommend or suggest the design
procedure for the place which in need of the insulation in
the house.
