Types of Attic Insulation for Your Home

Published on July 30, 2016

You understand that attic insulation is important for keeping cool air in your home during the dog days of summer and warm air in your home during the heating season. If you’re a consistent reader you may also know that there are government and energy rebates available if you upgrade or invest in the suggested attic insulation. You may even understand that the correct amount of attic insulation can help lower your monthly energy bills. But are you certain what type of attic insulation would be right for your home?

Below we have provided the three main types of attic insulation:

 

  • Roll-On Insulation

 

This is commonly the least expensive type of attic insulation because it is relatively straightforward and quick for professional contractors to install. It is highly flexible, enabling it to fit securely between studs, rafters, etc. and the snug fit helps keep the air trapped in the home.

 

  • Blown-In insulation

 

This kind of attic insulation is usually more efficient because the loose-fill allows the insulation to occupy smaller nooks and crannies where air could likely leak out. Blown-in attic insulation is also resistant again moisture, which helps prevent mold and odor from collecting in your house.

 

  • Spray Foam Insulation

 

This is the most energy-efficient kind of attic insulation because it stretches and firmly seals all holes where air could possibly leak though. Not only does the spray foam attic insulation have an air-tight seal, but it generally works longer than other type of attic insulation.

 

Before making a final decision, consider the R-value your home needs. The R-value is the assessment of insulating power. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. In this case, spray foam delivers a higher R-value than traditional insulations, resulting in better insulating power.

To learn more about the type of insulation you require for your home, or to schedule your free in-home consultation, call Broad Ripple Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning at 317-527-0271 today!
