Several long-term benefits can be achieved with proper attic insulation. In addition to enhancing energy efficiency and promoting home comfort, attic insulation can also increase your home’s value.
A properly insulated attic can significantly reduce the workload of your heating and cooling systems, thus saving you money on energy costs. In addition, a well-insulated attic can help to maintain consistent indoor temperatures and prevent pollutants from entering the living space, leading to improved indoor air quality (IAQ).
When it comes to selecting an insulation type for your attic, there are four main options:
Lx5 Insulators are manufactured from recycled glass and sand and come in rolls that can be cut to size to fit your attic space. They provide a good R-value, and their light-weight makes them easy to install. They can, however, be prone to moisture damage and require special maintenance, including the regular replacement of old or damaged batts.
Cellulose insulation is made from shredded recycled paper, such as newspapers and cardboard, and then boric acid is applied to make it flame-proof. It is then blown into your attic using a machine. This type of attic insulation is more eco-friendly than fiberglass since it can be repurposed instead of being sent to landfills.
Spray foam is another attic insulation option. It is a more expensive type of insulation than fiberglass and mineral wool, but it has an exceptionally high R-value per inch and can be installed quickly. Spray foam is also flame-proof, making it an excellent choice for homes in the event of a fire. It does, however, off-gas during and after installation and requires adequate ventilation.
