What if I have insulation installed already?

Adding more insulation is a good idea

Many homes, especially those over 15 years old, typically have some insulation in the attic. However, the effectiveness of older insulation, such as fiberglass or mineral fiber, often diminishes over time due to settling, resulting in a reduced depth. Homeowners have two main options: they can either remove the existing insulation or add Havelock Wool on top of it. If you choose to remove the old insulation, it is essential to follow safety precautions, including wearing gloves and dust masks to protect yourself from potential irritants. Alternatively, adding Havelock Wool over the existing insulation not only enhances the overall thermal performance of your home but also helps to contain any loose fibers from the old insulation, preventing them from circulating in the attic space.
