A well-insulated attic keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, saving energy, decreasing your utility bills and enhancing comfort. It also helps prevent energy loss caused by air movement between the attic and the living areas below. When combined with attic air sealing, it reduces the build-up of dangerous ice dams.

The type of insulation you choose depends on the climate in your area, your budget and whether you want to DIY or hire a professional. A professional can offer experience-based suggestions and install a variety of options including fiberglass batts or rolls, mineral wool, cellulose, blown-in loose fill, or spray foam.

Save on Energy Bills with Proper Attic Insulation

Desert Spray Foaming batts and rolls are inexpensive and easy to install. They fit well between attic joists and provide good thermal protection. Mineral wool and cellulose offer superior insulating value and may be suitable for unfinished attics. Blown-in loose fill is made from fiberglass, mineral wool or cellulose that can be blown into attic cavities with a special equipment. It offers a high R-Value and is especially useful for hard-to-reach areas.

Foam insulation is more expensive but has an exceptionally high R-Value, and it provides a vault-like seal for the attic. It requires a professional installation and cannot be removed, so it is best suited for attics that will not need to be accessed in the future.

Make sure you take into account the locations of wires, pipes, ducts, vents and other penetrations in your attic when selecting your insulation. They can create gaps that allow warm air to leak into the house, so you should seal them with a fireproof caulk before adding more insulation.
