spray foam insulation is one of the best home improvement projects you can do to increase energy efficiency, and maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the house. Combined with attic air sealing, it can cut your energy costs by 10% or more. In addition, it helps alleviate the formation of dangerous ice dams in the winter and prevent hot air from escaping upstairs rooms. You may also qualify for financial assistance to make these improvements through your state’s Weatherization Assistance Program.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Our Attic Insulation Process

Adding attic insulation is not an extensive renovation project, and you can do it yourself if you’re handy, have access to the tools and safety gear needed, and want to save money. However, it’s usually a good idea to hire a trained insulation contractor to do it for you.

You have three options for attic insulation:

1) Fiberglass batts or blankets: This consists of fiberglass and other materials, such as cotton, mineral wool and plastic fibers, woven into a roll or sheet. It is a cost-effective option and available in medium-density and high-density blankets. It can be cut to fit gaps and has an R-value of between R-2.9 and R-3.8 per inch of thickness.

2) Loose-fill insulation: This consists of small particles, such as fiberglass, mineral wool or cellulose, that are blown into the attic space with a blowing machine. It is a good choice where there are several small holes in the attic. It has an R-value of between R-3.2 and R-3.7 per inch of thickness.
