An insulated attic is essential for energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling bills. Insulation helps seal air leaks and prevents attic mold growth, but the type of insulation used is important. The right insulation can also improve a home’s soundproofing. ENERGY STAR has resources that help homeowners choose the best insulation type for their homes.

Spray foam Insulation Contractor is an advanced attic insulation option that offers the highest insulating value of any type of attic insulation. It is a more cost-effective alternative to other types of attic insulation. It can be installed by a professional or DIYer. It is available in open- and closed-cell varieties, allowing for choice based on the specific needs of a home.

Choosing the Right R-Value for Your Attic Insulation

Blown-in insulation, also known as loose-fill, is composed of small particles like fiberglass, cellulose or mineral wool that are blown into attics with a special machine. It offers comprehensive coverage and fills gaps better than batt insulation. It is also eco-friendly because it can be made with recycled paper products or natural materials like cotton and wool. However, if not properly installed, it can settle over time, reducing its R-value and encouraging moisture absorption that can breed mold and mildew.

Whether you hire a professional or do the work yourself, it is important to prepare your attic for insulation. Start by clearing out attic clutter. Then, remedy any leaking or damaged attic components. Lastly, make sure to wear personal protective equipment when you’re in the attic. This will vary depending on the type of insulation, but will usually include clothing that covers your skin, face masks and goggles.
