Insulation acts as an unseen guardian, keeping the inside of your home warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s essential for reducing your energy bills and maintaining a comfortable interior environment year-round. The right insulation can also increase your home value and support environmental sustainability.
Choosing the best attic insulation depends on the climate zone in which you live, local building codes, and your energy needs. The type of insulation you choose is determined by its R-value, a measure of its ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation is.

Fiberglass insulation comes in pre-cut batts or as loose-fill material that can be blown into attics. It can be made with flame-resistant chemicals for additional safety and it is available with a low vapor permeance for homes with moisture problems. Fiberglass is often less expensive than cellulose and doesn’t absorb water, which could lead to mold growth.
Mineral wool insulation is similar to fiberglass but uses natural materials. It has an excellent R-value of 3.1 to 4.0 per inch when blown in or installed in batts, and it is naturally resistant to mold and mildew.
Spray foam insulation is a popular option for new and existing homes. It’s a great choice for filling in gaps and crevices, including around pipes and electrical wires, as well as between walls, attic hatches, rim joists, and more. When installed correctly by trained professionals, it is effective and affordable.
