Whether it’s for saving energy or helping you qualify for an ENERGY STAR home upgrade rebate, the attic is one of the most effective places to install insulation. During the summer and winter, hot or cold air enters or escapes through your roof, which is why the attic is one of the most important spaces to insulate and seal.

Before proper insulation materials were created, Insulation Contractor often used whatever they had available — shoving newspaper, bottles and tins into the attic and along the walls to try to keep warm or cool. Now, with a little time and effort, you can have a more comfortable home for less by insulating your attic.

There are several different types of attic insulation, each with its pros and cons. The type you choose depends on the size of your attic, your budget, and what kind of attic access you have.

Blown-in cellulose insulation is made of recycled paper and wood fibers, making it an eco-friendly option. The boric acid and other chemicals that are added to the cellulose also make it fireproof, which helps prevent the spread of flames in case of an attic fire.

Owens Corning’s blown-in fiberglass insulation is fast and easy to install with their AttiCat machine, which can typically insulate a typical attic in about two hours. The fiberglass is blown in between attic joists using a special machine, which creates an even and dense layer.

Wet spray foam insulation requires the installation of a special blower and can only be installed in attics that can handle the expansion. It can emit harmful gases during and after installation, so it is important to wear a mask when working with it.
