Why the air sealing matters as much as the fluff
Warm indoor air leaks into the attic through pot lights, plumbing stacks, wall top-plates, and the hatch. In a Calgary winter that leaking air doesn't just waste heat. It carries moisture that frosts the underside of your roof sheathing, then drips when chinooks roll through. Sealing those penetrations before we blow is the difference between a fluffy attic and a dry, warm one. It's also the main defence against ice dams.
