Types of Attic Insulation

Insulation Contractor is an excellent way to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of your home. There are several different types of insulation, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. It’s important to consider the R-Value recommendation for your home and the installation type, as well as the ventilation needs of the attic space.

Fiberglass batts are made of fine strands of recycled glass and are available in pre-cut rolls that are easy to install between joists in the attic. This type of insulation can be dusty and should be handled with care, as it may irritate the lungs and skin. Loose-fill fiberglass is an alternative that is blown into place with special equipment. This form of insulation is effective in attics with irregular joist spacing, obstructions, or gaps.

Attic Insulation Done Right: Trust Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation

Cellulose insulation is made of recycled paper that’s treated with fire retardants. It’s also blown into place with a blowing machine, and can fill gaps more completely than fiberglass. This insulation is eco-friendly and can reduce your energy costs when paired with a vapor barrier.

Spray foam is an option that acts as both a barrier and an insulator, sealing leaks and gaps and providing a high R-Value per inch. It’s also available in open- or closed-cell varieties, and can support the structural integrity of your attic if it’s applied correctly. This type of insulation is expensive and requires professional installation, but it’s worth the investment for a more comfortable, efficient home.
