Is Your Home Losing Energy? It Could Be Your Attic Insulation

Fiberglass insulation is a good choice for homeowners and builders looking to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort. It’s available in a variety of R-values, which measure how much heat the material prevents per inch. The higher the R-value, the better the insulating performance.

Spray foam insulation, also known as blown-in or foam insulation, is an effective solution for attics and walls. It’s a liquid that’s sprayed on the surface of the attic floor and expands to fill gaps and cracks. It can seal the attic floor from moisture and provide a sound barrier. This type of insulation is expensive and requires professional installation.

Blown-in insulation is made of small particles that can be fiberglass, cellulose or mineral wool. It’s installed using a blowing machine, filling spaces and nooks and crannies more effectively than batt insulation. However, it can settle over time, reducing its R-value and increasing the risk of mold and mildew. It’s also prone to moisture absorption, especially with cellulose or mineral wool, which can lead to a host of issues.
