But where in the attic does the insulation go? First, the insulation needs to be placed thoroughly around the insulation walls, including any interior walls. Additionally, it should be in the attic ceiling and even the floor, especially if you experience colder temperatures in the winter.

Lastly, insulation will be in any area that could promote airflow. These areas include wiring, pipes, ducts or fixtures.

Furthermore, wall insulation is necessary in all walls of the home. The exterior walls are a given, but interior walls, including half-walls, can benefit from insulation as well.

Insulation in floors usually occurs underneath the floorboards. Good insulation should go right to the corners of the area being insulated. People achieve floor insulation by either pulling up floorboards and installing the insulation or by placing the insulation via an accessible area, such as a crawl space.

Basement insulation is often everywhere in the basement, especially the walls and ceiling. Both of these areas are prone to chilly temperatures and mould growth without the right protection, so basement insulation is usually to be found in wall cavities, as well as in the above ceiling below the main storey level. That way, a person can enjoy a comfortable basement without shivering.

One particular type of ceiling that should have insulation is a cathedral ceiling, or a ceiling that rises dramatically above the rest of the room. Insulation for this type of ceiling typically is between the roof deck and the ceiling itself, often in the rafters.
