The attic is the ideal location for insulation because it can be installed in existing homes, and it is easy to install around obstructions like pipes, wires, lights, vents, and ducts. Loose-fill and blown-in insulation are popular attic insulation options and can be made from different materials like cellulose, fiberglass, mineral wool, or rock wool. The material is blown into the attic spaces with special equipment, ensuring that all areas are covered evenly to stop air leakages and maximize the insulation’s effectiveness.

Insulation Contractor is a green product that is made from recycled newspaper and is treated with boric acid to repel insects. It has a high R-value per inch and is a good choice for reducing sound transmission. It is also less flammable than fiberglass, but it does have the tendency to absorb moisture and must be protected with a vapor barrier.

Top Signs You Need Attic Insulation: Advice from Insulate It Solutions

Fiberglass batt insulation is available in rolls that can be cut to fit any size of attic space. It has a lower R-value than cellulose and may leave gaps because it doesn’t fill all the nooks and crannies of an attic space. It can also emit off-gasses during and after installation, requiring adequate ventilation.

Spray foam is the most expensive type of attic insulation, but it offers superior energy efficiency and air tightness, reducing the transfer of heat from hot to cold. It is made of liquid polyurethane and is sprayed into the attic space where it expands to seal any gaps. It is best paired with blanket insulation for better coverage and to fill the gaps between studs.
