If you live in an area with hot summers and cold winters, spray foam insulation can help you enjoy a more comfortable home year-round. Insulation reduces energy bills, prevents moisture problems like mold and mildew, and improves indoor air quality. It can also make your home more marketable if you plan to sell it in the future.
There are a variety of insulation materials that can be used to insulate an attic, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Fiberglass batts, for example, are pre-cut panels of fiberglass strands that can be installed in attics using a blowing machine or on top of existing insulation. They are cost-effective, provide good thermal protection and do not degrade over time. However, the fiberglass may irritate skin and eyes during installation and requires proper protective gear.

Cellulose is another insulating material. It is made from recycled paper and plant-based materials and treated with fire retardants. It has an R-value of 3.2 to 3.7 per inch and is considered environmentally friendly, but it may irritate the skin during installation and must be protected from pests during storage. It can be blown into attics and is available in both open-cell and closed-cell versions.
Spray foam is a liquid that expands upon application, filling cracks and gaps effectively. It has an excellent R-value, can be sprayed in hard-to-reach spaces, and is available in both open-cell and close-cell forms. It is expensive, but it does not degrade over time and provides the best air barrier.
