Insulation is often thought of as an unsung home hero, helping to save energy bills and keep homes cozy. But it’s also an important safety measure, preventing heat from escaping your attic in the winter and stopping hot air from getting into your living spaces in the summer. It can also reduce noise and prevent moisture that can lead to mold or mildew.

The best type of attic insulation depends on a variety of factors, including your climate zone and local building codes. Generally, it’s recommended that you install between R-30 and R-60 in your attic.

Fiberglass: Made from recycled sand and glass, fiberglass Insulation Contractor is lightweight and flame-resistant. It is often the preferred option for homeowners looking to make a DIY insulation upgrade. However, it can be difficult to get the proper amount of fiberglass in your attic and it can leave gaps due to its low density.

Cellulose: Made from recycled newspaper and other materials, cellulose is a greener alternative to fiberglass. It is also more dense than fiberglass and offers a higher R-value per inch. It is perfect for new construction homes and retrofits, as well as pole barns and commercial buildings.

Closed-Cell Spray Foam: Applied as a liquid and then expanding, closed-cell spray foam is able to seal nooks and crannies that other types of insulation can’t.
