When properly installed, attic insulation can save energy by keeping conditioned air inside your home. It can also reduce sound transmission and improve indoor air quality. You’ll want to hire an experienced contractor who can seal air leaks before starting the installation, and who understands the importance of proper attic ventilation.

Rise Foam Insulation should be trained in a variety of techniques and will take safety precautions to prevent dangerous falls or fire hazards during the installation process. They should wear personal protective equipment, including gloves, face masks, and goggles. They should also know how to install vapor barriers and ventilation systems that will not contaminate the living spaces below.

Boosting Your Energy Savings with Professional Attic Insulation

The type of attic insulation you choose depends on your climate zone and desired R-value. Fiberglass batts are the most popular option, but you could also opt for cellulose, which is made of recycled newspaper and cardboard, or foam board, which is available in various rigid panels that are moisture- and pest-resistant.

Pros: Fiberglass batts are inexpensive and quick to install, making them a great choice for many homeowners. They are also easy to fit around pipes and HVAC equipment in an attic, and can be cut to fit awkwardly shaped areas. They have a relatively low R-value, however, at R-3.2 to R-7.5 per inch of thickness.

Foam board—also called rigid foam insulation—is available in a variety of types, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), and polyisocyanurate (polyiso). This insulation has a high R-value for its thickness, and is often moisture- and pest-resistant. It can be used for basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls, as well as in attics.
