Insulation is an often-overlooked part of a home that protects it from extreme weather conditions, keeps noise levels low, and helps save energy costs. In fact, when proper attic insulation is installed in a home, it can reduce a homeowner’s heating and cooling costs by up to 15%. However, there are a number of factors to consider when choosing the best attic insulation for your home.

There are several options for attic insulation including loose-fill and blown-in materials, fiberglass batts, cellulose, mineral wool, and spray foam. Loose-fill attic insulation is a popular choice because it can be easily inserted into existing attic spaces using special equipment. These materials are good for keeping heat in during the winter and out during the summer, resisting moisture and pests.

Fiberglass batts are made from recycled sand and glass, making them an environmentally-friendly option. These fiberglass batts are also soundproof and can help reduce the amount of exterior noise that enters your property. However, fiberglass batts are not as vapor-open as other insulation types and can hold moisture in, leading to mold and mildew. Additionally, fiberglass batting can be dangerous to handle and inhale.

Lastly, spray foam insulation is an excellent attic insulation option for new-construction homes, additions, pole barns, and garages. It starts out in liquid form and is sprayed by a professional into attics, crawl spaces, air ducts, and rim joists where it expands to fill all cracks and crevices for better coverage than other insulation products. This type of attic insulation is a closed-cell material that provides a high R-value and an air barrier. Spray foam insulation is more expensive than other insulation types but can last longer and reduce utility bills.
