Insulation Contractor is an affordable, energy-efficient home improvement that reduces heating and cooling costs. However, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution, with different forms of attic insulation suited for specific climate zones and needs. A professional can help you determine the recommended R-Value for your region and recommend a material that maximizes your investment.

The most common form of attic insulation is fiberglass batts made from tiny glass fibers rolled into thick sheets. These are relatively cost-effective, easy to install, and provide good thermal performance. However, they can settle over time and may not be moisture-resistant.

Blown-in insulation (also called loose-fill insulation) is a form of attic insulation that uses a blowing machine to spray small particles of fiberglass, mineral wool, or cellulose into your attic space. This type of attic insulation provides more comprehensive coverage and fills gaps and cracks effectively. However, it can be a messy job and requires special equipment to install properly. It can also absorb moisture and lead to mold and mildew, particularly with cellulose insulation.

Panel insulation is a more advanced attic insulation that uses panels of rigid foam to insulate your attic floor. This attic insulation can be a more effective and long-lasting alternative to fiberglass batts, and it is often moisture-resistant. It can be more expensive than other types of attic insulation, though.

It’s important to assess your attic insulation on a regular basis to ensure it remains in good condition. Inspect it for issues like moisture, compression, and mold to ensure that it is performing well and to determine if an upgrade is needed.
