Types of Attic Insulation

Attic insulation is essential for improving energy efficiency in your home, particularly during the cold winter months. Understanding the different types of insulation options available on the market can help you make an informed decision:

Batts

This type of insulation consists of long rolls of material, which are laid down like thick blankets on the attic floor. Batts may not cover every inch of the space, creating weak points where thermal transfer can occur. Installation in small or oddly-shaped attics can also be challenging.

Spray Foam

Spray foam insulation is applied as a foam that hardens as it dries. It can be applied to the roof of the attic, but unless you have HVAC ductwork on the floor, it’s generally advantageous to have the insulation on the attic floor to prevent heated air from escaping.

Blown-in

Blown-in insulation is applied using a high-pressure air hose, with small pieces blown into the attic. This method provides complete coverage of the attic floor, even in small spaces, making it highly effective.

Professional Installation

Choosing the right type of attic insulation is crucial, but so is professional installation. Incorrect installation can reduce the effectiveness of the insulation.
