It is important to keep your house insulated for a comfortable home and wallet.
Types of Attic Insulation
Different attic insulation companies will use various methods and materials for their services. There are pros and cons to each type of insulation, so some are more effective in certain situations than others. However, adequate insulation is applicable in just about any case. Here are the main attic insulation types used and some advantages and disadvantages of each.
Spray Foam Insulation
Pros:
- Spray foam insulation features some of the most substantial insulation on the market.
- Provides sealing that keeps your home’s air and outside air separate.
- Highly water-resistant. No need to worry about mildew or moisture.
- Highly durable and long-lasting.
Cons:
- One of the more expensive insulation products.
- Nearly impossible to remove if looking to renovate.
- Uses potentially harmful chemicals (do not attempt a DIY insulation).
Cellulose
Pros:
- Low-cost method using shredded paper and boric acid.
- Easy to install and excellent for filling tight or uniquely shaped spaces.
- Made from safe and recycled materials.
Cons:
- Installation process can create a lot of dust due to process of using insulation blower to hose area with insulation.
- Could possibly damage your existing home ductwork.
- Cellulose retains moisture, potentially leading to a breeding ground for mildew and mold. However, this could be avoided with proper maintenance.
Batt Insulation vs. Blown-In Fiberglass
Are you still wondering what the best attic insulation for your home is? Fiberglass is the most popular home insulation product because it has all the advantages of both foam and cellulose without any of the disadvantages. Fiberglass is affordable, effective, easy to install, and easier to clean.
The two main type of fiberglass insulation are fiberglass batt insulation and blow-in fiberglass insulation.
Fiberglass batt insulation is the easiest to install while remaining relatively effective. This form of fiberglass is pre-cut or rolled into a bundle. This makes for an easy installation process.
Blow-in fiberglass insulation is installed the same way as cellulose insulation. An insulation blower is used to disperse the loose chinks of fiberglass throughout the targeted area. This method is easier for awkward shaped spaces and crevices.
Blow-in fiberglass has a couple of significant advantages over cellulose. Fiberglass will leave behind far less debris during installation. It is also water-resistant and flame-resistant.
When combining all of the advantages to cost, sustainability, cleanliness, and effectiveness, it makes sense that fiberglass is the most popular option.
