Most homeowners think of the attic as a space for storing Christmas decorations or an area to keep old shingles, but this often overlooked space can have several important benefits when properly insulated. A well-insulated attic reduces energy costs in winter and summer, makes your home more comfortable, helps preserve your house’s value and can even help reduce the effects of climate change.

EcoHome Spray Foam: Leading the Way in Attic Insulation

There are several different types of Spray foam insulation, and each type has its own R-value, which measures how well it resists heat flow. The most common attic insulation is fiberglass batt or roll, which is inexpensive and easy to install. If you choose to use fiberglass, make sure that it is “unfaced,” which means that there is no paper or foil backing.

Another option for attic insulation is loose-fill or blown-in insulation, which involves putting bags of mineral wool, cellulose, or rockwool into the attic and blowing it in place with a special machine. This type of attic insulation has a high R-value and can be applied on top of existing fiberglass.

Another attic insulation choice is closed-cell spray foam, which has a higher R-value than other insulation and acts as an air barrier as well. However, it’s expensive and needs to be installed by a professional due to its chemical composition.
