An attic insulation contractor plays a critical role in energy efficiency, helping to preserve the thermal envelope of your home and reducing energy bills. Insulation also helps protect your living spaces from the elements and prevent unwanted pests and animals from nesting in your attic. If your attic is properly insulated, you will enjoy significant benefits for years to come.

There are several types of attic insulation available to meet your needs. Fiberglass batts are a common option, fitted between wall cavities and attic joists. Loose-fill insulation, blown in using a blowing machine and made from either fiberglass or cellulose, is an alternative, delivering better coverage than traditional batts.

The Role of Attic Insulation in Preventing Ice Dams

Another attic insulation type is spray foam, which acts as both an air barrier and an insulator and is sprayed onto the attic floor, sealing cracks and gaps that could otherwise leak heat or moisture into your living spaces. Its effectiveness can be diminished by dust accumulation, and it requires professional installation to ensure its proper application.

Another alternative is cotton insulation, which is made from shredded and treated recycled denim. It is eco-friendly and non-irritating to handle, providing excellent sound insulation. However, it can be prone to moisture absorption and is best used in warmer climates. For a more durable and effective attic insulation, you can choose rigid foam board, which is a sheet of polystyrene or polyisocyanurate that’s installed against the attic’s structural components. Rigid foam has a high R-Value per inch, provides good air barriers and resistance to moisture, and reduces sound transmission. It is also fire-resistant and insect-resistant.
