Attic metal building insulation is one of the best investments homeowners can make for improving the energy efficiency of their homes. It reduces heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, lowering energy bills and maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature all year round. It also helps prevent ice dams and moisture issues from damaging roofs and compromising the structural integrity of attics and living spaces.
The most common attic insulation is fiberglass batt and roll. It is available in pre-cut, long rolls that fit easily between the joists and rafters of attics. This type of insulation offers good R-value and is relatively inexpensive, making it a popular choice for many attic renovations.

Blown-in or loose-fill insulation is another attic insulation option. This is made from cellulose, fiberglass or mineral wool and can be blown into attic spaces using special equipment. It has good thermal performance, resists moisture and pests and is fire-resistant. Loose-fill is often more affordable than other types of insulation, but may irritate skin and eyes during installation and requires proper safety equipment.
Spray foam insulation is a two-part liquid that expands into a foam upon curing, filling gaps and cracks in attics effectively. It provides an excellent air barrier and has high R-value, ensuring it seals tightly to help minimize energy losses and leaks. It is usually installed by trained professionals due to its chemical handling and is expensive. It can also emit toxic fumes during installation and needs to be sealed well against ducts and penetrations.
