Insulating your attic is a great way to save energy and make your home more comfortable. It’s also an easy way to increase your resale value. Insulation helps prevent extreme temperature fluctuations between the living spaces of your home, reducing utility bills and ensuring a cozy space year-round.

Insulation is rated by its R-Value, with higher numbers providing greater energy efficiency. It’s important to get the right R-Value for your area, as the climate can affect how well it performs. For example, colder climates require a lower R-Value than warmer areas.

Signs Your Attic Needs New Insulation

Before installing insulation, a professional Insulation Contractor will inspect the attic for air leaks and moisture problems. They’ll also clean the attic and repair any damage to prepare it for a new installation. A pro will then determine how much insulation you need, which will depend on the current R-Value and the size of your attic.

Fiberglass batts and rolls are the most common types of attic insulation. They’re inexpensive, non-flammable, and resistant to moisture. They come in various widths to fit wall studs, attic trusses or rafters, and floor joists.

Loose-fill cellulose insulation is made of recycled paper products and treated with chemicals to make it fire-resistant. It’s installed with a blowing machine to ensure it fills all corners, crevices, and irregular spaces. It’s ideal for older homes with insufficient insulation.

Rigid foam insulation is made of panels or boards of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane. It’s expensive but offers a high R-Value, is durable and moisture-resistant, and can be cut to fit oddly-shaped attic areas.
