Attic insulation is one of the best investments you can make as a homeowner to cut your energy costs and improve your home’s comfort. Attic insulation can help keep your cooled air in during the summer and warm air in during the winter, lowering air conditioning expenses. It can also reduce outside noise and create a healthier indoor environment, particularly when it’s combined with other home upgrades like USA Premium Injection Wall Foam.

If your attic has existing insulation, evaluate its R-value and condition to determine whether an upgrade is necessary. Check for mold, water damage and compression that may have reduced its effectiveness over time. It’s also important to not block attic vents and eaves with insulation as this can cause poor ventilation and reduced energy efficiency.

How Insulate It Solutions Improves Home Comfort with Attic Insulation

There are several types of attic insulation that homeowners can choose from, including blown, batt and blanket insulation. Each has different applications, depending on your attic space and DIY preferences.

Blown insulation (sometimes called loose-fill) is made of tiny particles of fiberglass, cellulose or mineral wool that are blown into attics using a blowing machine. It provides comprehensive coverage and fills gaps and cracks more effectively than batt insulation. It’s also environmentally friendly, often containing recycled materials. However, blown insulation can settle over time and reduce its R-value. It can also absorb moisture, which can lead to mold and mildew.

Spray foam is a great option for attic spaces that are hard to access, as it can be applied with a hose. It’s also a good option for oddly-shaped attic spaces. This type of insulation expands to fill gaps and cracks, and it can be installed in conjunction with other energy-saving improvements. It can be more expensive than other forms of attic insulation, but it offers an excellent R-value and a long lifespan.
