Types of Attic Insulation
Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation insulation to your attic is an inexpensive way to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of your home. Low attic insulation and air leakage can make your heating and cooling system work harder, leading to high energy bills. Before applying new insulation, however, it is a good idea to seal any leaks and make necessary roof or other repairs. Once those are taken care of, you should choose the type of insulation that is right for your home.
Batts or batting insulation is available in various widths suited to standard wall stud spacing and attic joists. It can be installed by hand rolling or by using a blown in installation. It can be made of either fiberglass or cellulose. Cellulose is a renewable resource and contains recycled paper products, while fiberglass is non-combustible and presents no fire hazard to your home.
How Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation Transforms Your Attic
Blown-in insulation is looser than batt insulation, allowing it to fill in gaps and small areas more thoroughly. It also provides greater R-value per inch than batt insulation. It is generally installed using a blowing machine, which allows it to be applied more quickly and effectively. It can be made of either fiberglass or wet-spray cellulose, which is a more eco-friendly choice since it uses less chemical treatment and doesn’t use boric acid to prevent rodent infestation.
Foam board insulation is a rigid panel that can be applied directly to attic surfaces or used for special applications, such as attic hatches. It is resistant to moisture, and its closed-cell structure can help prevent mold and mildew. Foam board is very expensive, and it must be installed by trained professionals due to the chemicals involved in its handling.
