Types of Attic Insulation That We Provide

We provide several different types of attic insulation services depending on your needs. These include spray foam attic insultiaon, fiberglass batt attic insulation, blown-in cellulose attic insulation, and blown-in fiberglass insulation.

Spray Foam Attic Insulation

Spray foam insulation is a popular choice for attics due to its excellent thermal performance and ability to create an airtight seal. It expands to fill gaps and cracks, providing superior insulation and preventing air leakage. Spray foam is available in two main types: open-cell and closed-cell.

  • Pros:
    • Provides an airtight seal, reducing air leakage and improving energy efficiency.
    • Excellent R-value (thermal resistance), offering superior insulation.
    • Acts as both insulation and an air barrier.
    • Helps control moisture and prevent mold growth.
    • Long-lasting and does not settle over time.
  • Cons:
    • Higher upfront cost compared to other types of insulation.
    • Professional installation is required.

Fiberglass Batt Attic Insulation

Fiberglass batt insulation is one of the most commonly used types of attic insulation. Made from fine glass fibers, fiberglass batts are installed between attic joists to provide thermal insulation. It’s an affordable and effective solution for many projects.

  • Pros:
    • Cost-effective and widely available.
    • Easy to install, making it a good option for DIY projects.
    • Non-combustible, adding an extra layer of fire protection.
    • Provides good soundproofing.
  • Cons:
    • Requires careful installation to avoid gaps and air leaks.
    • Can lose effectiveness if compressed or exposed to moisture.

Less effective than spray foam at preventing air leakage.

Blown-In Cellulose Attic Insulation

Blown-in cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper products treated with fire retardants. This loose-fill insulation is blown into the attic using specialized equipment, making it ideal for filling irregular spaces and adding insulation to existing structures.

  • Pros:
    • Environmentally friendly, made from recycled materials.
    • Effective at filling small gaps and hard-to-reach areas.
    • Good thermal performance and soundproofing qualities.
    • Relatively quick and easy to install.
    • Pest resistant
  • Cons:
    • Can settle over time, reducing its effectiveness.
    • Susceptible to moisture, which can lead to mold and mildew growth.
    • Requires professional installation for optimal coverage.

Blown-In Fiberglass Attic Insulation

Blown-in fiberglass insulation is similar to blown-in cellulose but is made from fine glass fibers. It is blown into the attic using specialized equipment, providing a loose-fill option that is easy to apply in irregular spaces.

  • Pros:
    • Non-combustible, adding fire resistance.
    • Does not settle
    • Maintains its effectiveness over time.
    • Resistant to moisture and mold growth.
    • Provides good coverage in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Cons:
    • Can be less environmentally friendly than cellulose insulation.
    • Professional installation is recommended to ensure even coverage.
    • May lose effectiveness if not installed properly.

Choosing the Right Attic Insulation

Attic Insulation FAQs

What is the best type of insulation for attics?

The best type of insulation for your attic depends on your specific needs and budget. Spray foam offers superior energy efficiency, while fiberglass batt and blown-in insulation provide more affordable options.

The amount of insulation needed depends on the climate, the type of insulation used, and the desired R-value. In colder climates, higher R-values are recommended to provide adequate thermal resistance.

Some types of insulation, such as fiberglass batts, can be installed as a DIY project. However, professional installation is recommended for spray foam, and blown-in insulation to ensure proper coverage and performance.

The lifespan of attic insulation depends on the type of insulation used. Spray foam can last for the life of the building, while fiberglass batts and blown-in insulation may need to be replaced or topped up after 20-30 years.

Yes, properly installed attic insulation can significantly reduce energy bills by preventing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, reducing the need for heating and cooling.

Signs that your attic may need more insulation include high energy bills, uneven temperatures in your home, drafty rooms, and visible gaps or thin spots in the existing insulation.

Yes, spray foam insulation is safe for attics when installed by professionals. It creates a stable, inert barrier that does not off-gas harmful chemicals once cured.

The time it takes to insulate an attic depends on the size of the space and the type of insulation being installed. Smaller attics can be insulated in a few hours, while larger or more complex spaces may take a day or more.

Attic insulation may need to be replaced if it has been damaged by moisture, pests, or has settled significantly over time. Regular inspections can help determine if replacement is necessary.
