Knee Walls Insulation is the process of adding insulation to the walls built into the sloping roof of a home, commonly found in finished attics or top floors of homes. These walls, known as knee walls, are typically located at the vertical transition between the sloping roof and the horizontal ceiling. Insulating these walls helps to prevent heat loss during the winter and heat gain during the summer, providing better temperature control and energy efficiency in the home.
Insulating knee walls can be done during both new construction and existing home renovations. The benefits of insulating knee walls include improved energy efficiency, lower utility bills, increased comfort levels, and improved indoor air quality. The insulation helps to regulate the temperature in the living space by preventing hot or cold air from entering through the walls, making it easier to maintain a consistent temperature. Additionally, knee wall insulation can help to reduce noise transmission from outside the home, creating a more peaceful indoor environment.
