Types of Attic Insulation

Having proper insulation in your attic will keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It also reduces the amount of conditioned air that escapes through your ceilings, which can save you money on your energy bills.

Straight Edge Insulation is available in a variety of forms, from loose-fill to foam board and from spray to fiberglass batts. The most common type of insulation for an attic is fiberglass. It’s relatively inexpensive, resists heat flow well and doesn’t promote mold growth. It comes in pre-cut batts or rolls, making it easy to install between the framing members (like joists and trusses) of your attic.

The Benefits of Spray Foam Attic Insulation for Your Home

Spray foam insulation is used to seal cracks, vents and other openings. It is not used to replace existing attic insulation, but it can be added around the edges of your attic ladder and over other types of insulation to prevent air leaks.

Foam board insulation is made from polyurethane or polystyrene. It is used in a wide range of construction projects, from walls and floors to attics. Its rigidity and versatility make it a favorite choice for attics, as it fits into the space easily and can be trimmed to fit your needs.

Mineral wool insulation is a natural product that resembles cotton candy, but it’s more durable and effective than other types of insulation. It has a high R-value, resists heat transfer and doesn’t promote mold growth. It is ideal for use in attics that contain wood framing. It’s also fire-resistant and helps keep a constant temperature from room to room.
