Spray foam insulation is one of the most cost-effective, energy-saving upgrades you can do for your home. When it’s installed correctly, it will reduce air leaks that waste money and make your house feel uncomfortable and drafty. ENERGY STAR has resources to help you assess your needs, choose the right type of insulation, hire an experienced contractor and save with local incentives and rebates.

Loose-fill or blown-in insulation is ideal for attic spaces because it can be easily added to open areas and around obstacles, like ductwork. It’s also an eco-friendly option, made from recycled paper products such as cellulose, mineral wool or fiberglass. It’s blown into place using special equipment, ensuring it covers every square inch of the attic space. It’s highly effective at stopping heat from escaping or entering the home and resists pests, moisture and mold.

Straight Edge Insulation’s Step-by-Step Attic Insulation Process

Fiberglass batt insulation is a classic attic insulation choice for many homeowners. It looks a little bit like cotton candy or clouds, and it’s often the image most people envision when they think of attic insulation. It provides good soundproofing as well, helping to keep external noises out and internal noises in.

Spray foam is another standard attic insulation choice. It’s a two-part liquid that expands into a foam upon curing, filling every crack and gap. It acts as an air barrier, sealing out leaks and reducing energy costs, and it’s available in both open-cell and closed-cell versions to match your home’s performance requirements. It’s best installed by trained professionals due to the chemical handling involved and requires protective gear including gloves, a mask and goggles.
