Coastline Insulation – Types of Attic Insulation

 

If you have an spray foam insulation space that’s packed with boxes and doo-dads, you may want to find another home for them before you start insulating. This is because the professionals who install attic insulation will have to get in and around all those items. They will also have to wear protective gear, which is a must for safety reasons (depending on the type of insulation they are installing).

There are 4 types of attic insulation. Each type has a different R-value, which is the measure of how much it can resist conductive and convective heat flow. Each type can be used in different ways, and there are a variety of factors that influence what type of attic insulation is best for your property.

For example, fiberglass batt insulation is a popular choice that’s easily installed by homeowners who are looking for a DIY project. It comes in blanket form, which is easy to affix to unfinished attic spaces. It’s also made from recycled materials, which makes it eco-friendly.

Another common option is blown-in cellulose insulation. This is made from recycled paper, including things like old newspapers and cardboard. The material is treated with boric acid and other chemicals that make it flame resistant. It is then blown into your attic using a special machine. The insulation is able to fill in even small gaps and holes. It’s also a great choice for older homes, which can benefit from increased R-values.
