Types of Attic Insulation

There are three major types of insulation used for insulating an attic, the spray foam insulation, cellulose insulation, and fiberglass insulation. These insulations have different unique characteristics.

Spray Foam Insulation: spray foam insulation is known to be the most used insulation recently; this is due to its high energy performance. Spray foam insulation is applied on the wall surface of an attic, and at the bottom of a roof, filling up cracks and holes, and serving as air-barrier.

Cellulose Insulation: cellulose insulation is always made from newspapers, which are chemically cured. cellulose-based insulation could be used as firewall due to its fire resistance ability. However, if they catch fire, they burn slowly and do not exude harmful gases.

Fiberglass Insulation: fiberglass is made of melted glass, which jets out through holes to produce the fiber. However, if you prefer fiberglass insulation, it would be best to hire experts to help out with the installation, because there is need to be careful and cautious when installing it.

To get the best result of these products, you would need to do some researches and hire a competent contractor. The perfection of each step is the key to a quality job.

After choosing an insulation contractor to install your attic insulation, it's crucial to understand that it's a task that requires time. Firstly, the contractor needs to access your home, taking notes of areas where the building is losing energy. Then suggesting reasonable plans to make your home more energy efficient. Most times, this involves the need for re-insulating some areas of your building, since it wasn’t well insulated due to the wrong type of insulation that was used when the property was constructed. As stated earlier, attic insulation have different characteristics, and your choice should depend on these characteristics. Hiring an expert for your attic insulation will identify the cause of inefficient energy in your home.

If your attic is yet to be insulated, then there is a tendency of experiencing heat loss through cracks or holes on attic walls.
