Metal building insulation is a home’s best defense against extreme summer heat and winter cold. It also helps to maintain a steady indoor temperature year-round and eases the strain on heating and cooling systems. In addition to reducing energy costs, insulation can help reduce the amount of pollutants entering your home, and prolongs the life of your HVAC system.

Depending on your budget, you may choose to use fiberglass batt insulation or another type of loose-fill insulation such as cellulose or rock wool. However, these options are not ideal. They have a tendency to settle, and can lose their R-value over time. In addition, they are not moisture resistant. If you are considering using these types of materials, it is crucial to wear proper protective equipment such as goggles, face masks, a head-light and coveralls when working in attics and crawl spaces.

Cellulose insulation uses a similar distribution method to fiberglass, but it utilizes a more eco-friendly material. Made of recycled newspapers, cardboard and wood-based products, this type of insulation is treated with boric acid to make it fireproof. It is a great choice for filling gaps and nooks, which can help reduce the amount of heat that escapes through your roof. However, it can lose its R-value over time and requires periodic replacement due to dust accumulation and mold growth. It is also more expensive than other types of loose-fill insulation.
