Types of Attic Insulation

The right attic insulation helps keep warm air in during the winter and cool air in during the summer, saving energy. It can also reduce noise levels, increase home value and help protect the roof and underlying structures from moisture damage. Professional contractors can install the right type of insulation in your attic. They’ll first remove plywood flooring, exposing floor joists, then use the appropriate material to fill and seal your attic space. They’ll also install a vapor barrier to prevent moisture infiltration.

Year-Round Savings with TCS Attic Insulation

Insulation comes in several different forms, from loose-fill to spray foam. The type you choose depends on your home, budget and DIY inclination.

Fiberglass batt insulation is a popular choice. It can be installed in walls and wall cavities, but it’s typically blown into attics and other spaces using special equipment to ensure it covers all areas thoroughly. It’s available in a range of R-values and is good for both new and existing attics.

Loose-fill or blown-in Insulation Contractor is made from small particles of cellulose, fiberglass or mineral wool that are blown into attics and other spaces using a special machine. This allows them to reach difficult-to-reach spots and fill gaps more thoroughly than other types of insulation. It can also be made from recycled materials to make it more eco-friendly. However, this type of insulation can settle over time and absorb moisture, which can affect its R-value.

Spray foam insulation is best for new homes or for insulating oddly shaped spaces. It’s a good option for attics, basements and pole barns. It’s also very easy to handle and can be cut to fit specific needs, such as the size of a window or door frame.
