Spray foam insulation is a key component to keeping the air in your home stable, increasing energy efficiency and saving you money. If your attic is properly insulated, you can keep warm air in during the winter and cool air in during summer. However, if your attic insulation is outdated or in need of improvement, it can significantly affect your energy bills and your comfort.

There are several types of attic insulation available to homeowners. Some types are more affordable than others, and some are best suited for certain climates. The type of attic insulation you choose will depend on factors like your location, home age and energy use. Another factor is the R-Value of the insulation; the higher the R-value, the more effective it is.

Fiberglass insulation is made from tiny glass fibers; it comes in batts or rolls and can be blown into wall cavities and attics. It is cheap, lightweight and easy to install. However, it can settle over time, reducing effectiveness.

Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper and plant-based materials treated with fire retardants; it is blown into attics, walls and other areas. It is light, cost-effective and fire-resistant, but it can be irritant to the skin and eyes during installation.

Spray foam insulation is a standard option; it is sprayed on attic surfaces and can be either open- or closed-cell. It is an excellent air barrier, has high R-values and fills gaps and cracks well. It is also durable, resists moisture and can be applied to irregular spaces.
