4 Types of Attic Insulation

When it comes to insulating your home, attic insulation may seem like an afterthought. However, proper attic insulation can impact much more than just your energy bills. It can also impact moisture levels and air quality. In fact, the attic is one of the areas most affected by your insulation because it is closest to the weather, sun and rising humid air.

There are 4 types of attic insulation:

Fiberglass batts: These pre-cut panels of fiberglass are affordable, easy to install and provide basic thermal protection. They are available with or without a paper facing. They work well in attics with standard joist spacing, few obstacles to maneuver around, and sufficient headroom for installation.

Fiberglass rolls: Similar to fiberglass batts, these come in longer segments that you can roll out on the attic floor. They offer more coverage than batts and can decrease the likelihood of gaps.

Loose-fill: This type of attic insulation is comprised of small particles that are blown into the attic cavity and can be made of fiberglass, mineral wool or cellulose. It is very effective in hot climates because it reflects radiant heat instead of absorbing it, and is quick and convenient to install.
