Insulating your attic is one of the best ways to save energy in your home. Combined with attic air sealing, it prevents unwanted heat loss and helps maintain your desired indoor temperatures year-round. Additionally, it reduces the chance of dangerous ice dams during winter and keeps out dust and pests.

Different insulation types and R-values are available depending on your location, budget and heating and cooling needs. A professional Insulation Contractor can guide you through your options and recommend a specific attic insulation solution.

Common Myths About Attic Insulation—Debunked by iFOAM

Rigid foam insulation is a popular choice because it’s easy to install and offers high R-value performance for your attic. It’s also a great option for retrofit applications as it can be easily added to existing drywall. Fiberglass and mineral wool are other popular choices for DIYers because they come in blankets or sheets that can be affixed directly to attic joists and studs without the need to cut or tear. Blown-in cellulose insulation is another common attic insulation material that’s popular for retrofits because it adds more value to the attic space, is environmentally friendly and comes in a wide range of R-values.

Insulation is important for every area of the home, but it’s especially vital for the attic and ceiling areas to help with temperature regulation. Investing in an effective attic insulation project can yield substantial financial benefits and comfort for years to come. It’s a wise investment that improves your quality of life and increases your home’s value.
