Attic insulation is a smart move that reduces energy costs, making your home more comfortable year-round. It also reduces your heating and cooling system’s workload, reducing maintenance expenses. And it adds to your home’s value.

If you’re planning to add or replace insulation in your attic, it’s important to know what type of insulation you need and the R-value recommended for your climate zone. This will help you plan your budget and compare contractor estimates. Online calculators can be a good starting point to get an idea of the amount of insulation needed for your home. Most of them ask for room dimensions and foam type to gauge a cost estimate. Some also factor in labor, old insulation removal and other sealing work to provide more accurate estimates.

The Long-Term Benefits of Attic Insulation from Strategic Spray Foam

Blanket – Made from fiberglass, natural and synthetic fibers, mineral wool, and cellulose, blanket insulation is available in rolls or pre-cut panels called batts that can be rolled or blown in. It’s available in a wide variety of R-values to suit your climate zone.

Loose-fill – Made from cellulose fiberglass and mineral wool, loose-fill insulation is installed by blowing it into place with a special machine. It’s a great option for attics with irregular joist spacing and obstacles.

Spray foam – Unlike other insulation types, spray foam insulation is applied as a liquid that expands to fill gaps and cracks for maximum efficiency. It is the most expensive type of insulation, but it offers a high R-value per inch and acts as an air barrier and mold inhibitor.
