Insulation is one of the most cost-effective and easiest home improvements you can do to make your home more energy efficient. It keeps heat out in the summer, and warmth in during the winter, saving you money on heating and cooling costs and increasing comfort throughout your house. If your attic is properly insulated, it will also prevent condensation and moisture damage to your roof and attic wood framing. URL :https://straightedgeinsulation.com/

There are several different types of insulation, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. You’ll need to consider factors like your budget and climate zone before deciding on the type that’s best for you.

Blanket insulation (Batts)

Common and cost-effective, blanket insulation (or batt insulation) comes in pre-cut panels designed to fit between the joists in your attic. It’s often made of fiberglass batting, although other materials are available as well. This attic insulation is moisture-resistant when a vapor barrier is used in conjunction with it, and can stabilize your attic’s temperature throughout the year to help prevent mold growth. It works best for attics with standard joist spacing, few obstacles to work around and enough headroom for maneuvering during installation.

Loose-fill insulation (Blown-In)

Another great option for attic insulation is blown-in cellulose. Made from recycled paper material treated with boric acid to make it fire-resistant and pest-proof, blown-in cellulose has the highest R-value per inch of any other attic insulation and can be installed quickly as loose-fill.

Spray Foam Insulation

The most expensive attic insulation, spray foam has the greatest R-value per inch of any other attic or wall insulation and provides a complete seal that prevents air leaks and reduces energy waste. It’s sprayed in place as a two-part liquid and expands to fill cracks and voids, providing an airtight seal for maximum efficiency. It’s highly effective in difficult to reach spaces, and can be applied in walls and crawl spaces as well.
