Cathedral ceilings are a stunning architectural feature – adding height, light, and visual impact to any home. But behind that beauty often lies a costly problem: poor or nonexistent insulation. And in Wisconsin’s climate, that can mean serious energy loss, inconsistent indoor temperatures, and long-term damage due to condensation.
Unlike standard ceilings that use attic space for insulation, cathedral ceilings require insulation to be installed from the outside – between the roof and ceiling structure. Many older homes simply skipped this step, or had it done using outdated materials and techniques that have since proven ineffective.
Today, modern methods like the hot roof system – where high-performance insulation such as spray foam is applied directly to the underside of the roof sheathing or to the attic side of the drywall – offer a highly effective, code-compliant solution for these challenging spaces.
At Allrite Home & Remodeling, in partnership with our specialty insulation division, S & E Insulation (an approved Focus on Energy Trade Ally), we help homeowners maximize both comfort and rebates by properly insulating during key remodeling moments – like a roof replacement.
Properly insulating cathedral ceilings can lead to greater indoor comfort and reduced energy bills. If you’re planning a roof replacement or struggling with temperature control in your home, it may be the perfect time to address your ceiling insulation as well.
