Can You Add New Attic Insulation Over Existing Layers?

At 31-W Insulation, the question about adding new attic insulation over existing layers is one that we hear on almost every project. The answer is “it depends” because every situation is different and we need to inspect your attic insulation before we can give you an accurate answer. However, there are a few things we can share with you to give you a better understanding of when it is possible and when the old insulation at your Garner, North Carolina home should definitely be removed first.

  • Is it wet? If the existing insulation is wet, it needs to be removed to avoid wood rot of your ceiling and rafters, as well as mold growth. Depending on the type of insulation, getting wet has likely ruined it, so it isn’t doing its job anyway.
  • What is being installed? The question becomes whether the old insulation and new insulation will “play nice together.” For example, you can put batt or rolled insulation, or even blown insulation, on top of old insulation, but there are other combinations that don’t work as well.
  • Was the original insulation installed properly? Every now and then, we see a couple of layers of batt or roll insulation that are now trapping moisture. It is important to have this removed prior to upgrading the attic insulation. We have also seen other mistakes made that can only be rectified by removing the insulation before putting in new attic insulation.
  • Is there space? Sometimes the solution for added energy efficiency is changing to a type of attic insulation that creates the desired R-value with less thickness, but if there isn’t room to add anything, something has to be removed first.
