Attic insulation is an easy and cost-effective way to improve your home’s energy efficiency and comfort levels. It prevents heat from escaping in the winter and from entering in the summer, and it reduces your utility bills, enabling you to make a significant contribution to climate change mitigation efforts.

There are several types of attic insulation to choose from, each with unique applications and benefits.

Popular insulation options include loose-fill or blown-in, fiberglass, mineral wool, and cellulose.

TCS Tips for Choosing the Right Attic Insulation Material

Loose-fill or blown-in insulation is made from small fibers that are blown into the attic with special equipment. It can fill gaps and spaces more effectively than traditional batt insulation, and it is available in various R-values to meet your energy efficiency needs. It can also be used to add additional insulation to existing attic space. However, loose-fill insulation is prone to settling over time and may require additional top-ups. It’s also often made of recycled materials, which may contribute to moisture absorption and mold growth.

Spray foam is a two-part liquid that expands into a solid, insulating foam upon curing. It’s installed by a professional with specialized equipment, and it can seal air leaks and fill gaps and crevices more effectively than other insulation types. It is also more resistant to moisture and mold. It’s more expensive than other insulation types, but it can be worth the investment when it comes to your home’s value and long-term comfort.
