Spray foam insulation keeps conditioned air from escaping through the ceiling, improving indoor temperatures throughout your home. This reduces energy costs and makes it easier to heat your home during the winter and cool it during the summer. It also improves indoor air quality by reducing pollutants and allergens that enter your home through the ceiling.

There are four different types of attic insulation: fiberglass batts, cellulose, blown-in fiberglass and spray foam. Each type has its pros and cons. Typically, professionals recommend attic insulation with R-values between R-30 and R-60 depending on your climate zone.

Long-Term Benefits of Hiring The Foam Guy for Your Attic

Fiberglass batt insulation is the most common attic insulation because it is affordable and easy to install. It’s available in various thicknesses and R-values, and can be cut to fit around ductwork, vents, and other obstructions. It’s also easy to maintain and provides good thermal resistance, acoustic insulation, and moisture control.

Cellulose attic insulation is made from recycled paper treated with boric acid and other flame retardants. It’s blown into attics and walls as a loose-fill material to fill gaps, provide good insulation, and reduce noise. It’s a green alternative to other types of attic insulation and is more durable than fiberglass batts.

Blown-in cellulose insulation is more expensive than other options, but it’s more effective at reducing gaps and providing better coverage. It’s also a more eco-friendly option because it’s made from recycled materials. Like blown-in fiberglass, it’s easy to maintain and provides good thermal resistance, moisture control, and acoustic insulation.
