Fiberglass insulation is one of the most effective ways to save money on energy costs and make your home more comfortable. The proper amount of insulation keeps hot air out in summer and cold air in during winter, allowing your HVAC system to work less to maintain the temperature you desire without overtaxing it. Proper attic insulation also reduces moisture accumulation that can damage walls, ceilings, and insulation, as well as contribute to mold growth.
There are several different types of attic insulation available, with each type serving a specific purpose and suiting particular climate zones. A professional insulation contractor can help you choose the right option for your home, including selecting the appropriate R-Value.
Mineral Wool
This type of insulation is made from rock mineral materials and offers excellent thermal resistance. It’s a good choice for homes in climates with extreme temperatures. Fiberglass Batt Insulation
Made from tiny glass fibers, this popular insulation is cost-effective and easy to install. It can be blown in or sprayed into attics. However, it doesn’t mix well with moisture, and if it gets wet, it can lose its effectiveness. It may irritate skin and eyes during installation, so protective gear is recommended.
Blown-in insulation or loose-fill is made from cellulose, mineral wool, or fiberglass particles that are blown into attics. It’s a cost-effective, straightforward method that often requires removing plywood flooring in the attic and may reduce attic storage space. It’s an excellent choice for attics with many small holes and penetrations.
