A well-insulated attic is one of the best investments you can make to save energy in your home. Combined with air sealing, insulating and venting your attic can improve comfort and reduce energy costs throughout your house.

Attic insulation is typically installed using fiberglass batts or rolled insulation. Fiberglass is a popular choice because it’s affordable, offers good R-value (a measure of resistance to heat flow) and is available in varying thicknesses for optimal performance. However, the EPA recommends you choose a more environmentally friendly option like cellulose, a recycled paper material, mineral wool or foam insulation. More info coastlineinsulation.com

Another type of insulation that’s often used in attics is blown-in, loose-fill or open-cell spray foam. This type is sprayed in attics with a machine that blows the materials into place to fill all open spaces. Blown-in insulation can have a high R-value and is also effective in reducing sound transmission. It’s usually made of cellulose, recycled paper or mineral wool but is also available in fiberglass. It can settle over time, lowering its R-value, and it’s not as moisture resistant as other insulation types.

Depending on the size of your attic and what type of insulation you’re looking for, an attic insulation professional can help you determine how much material is needed to achieve the desired R-value. Remember, R-values are based on the R-factor of the materials you select and how the insulation is installed. For example, if you choose spray foam, the professional will need specialized equipment and training to safely and properly install it.
