Spray foam insulation is a critical factor in the overall comfort of your home. It helps to keep warm air inside during the winter and cool air inside in the summer, reducing your energy costs and helping your HVAC system to operate more efficiently. It also provides a sound barrier, keeping noises from traveling through your house and making it easier to relax in any room of the house.

Whether you’re looking to boost your energy efficiency, save on heating and cooling costs or increase the value of your home before selling, a properly insulated attic can help with all of those goals. It’s important to work with a professional when choosing an attic insulation type and R-Value, as the optimal choice will vary by climate zone and your usage of your attic space.

Does Your Attic Need Better Insulation? Let 316 Insulation Help

The most popular attic insulation is fiberglass insulation, which can be blown in or placed into batts and rolls. It is available in a range of R-Values and comes in a wide variety of colors to suit your needs. Fiberglass is cost-effective, easy to install, and doesn’t degrade over time. It can irritate the skin and eyes during installation, so proper safety gear is recommended.

Cellulose insulation is another popular attic insulation. It is made from a combination of recycled paper and plant-based materials, then treated with boric acid. It can be blown in or poured, and is available in both open- and closed-cell options. It has a high R-Value, offers an excellent air barrier and fills gaps and crevices well. It is more expensive than other insulation types, and needs to be installed by a professional due to its chemical handling requirements.
