The type of Insulation Contractor  you choose can dramatically impact your home’s energy efficiency. It’s best to leave installation to the professionals; DIY attempts run the risk of blocking air vents and causing moisture issues, and may not achieve the R-value recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

When selecting an insulation type for your attic, it’s important to consider your goals for the space. A poorly insulated attic can cause draftiness and higher energy bills, while a well-insulated one will significantly reduce your cooling costs in the summer and heating expenses in the winter.

Attic insulation can be made from a variety of materials, each with its own pros and cons. Some are better suited for certain climates, and different attic designs. Your BPI-certified contractor can help you determine the best attic insulation options for your home.

Seal in Comfort and Savings with Attic Insulation by Patriot Foam & Coatings

Fiberglass batting, commonly known as blanket or batt insulation, is a common attic insulation choice that is easy on the budget and simple to install. It is often paired with a vapor barrier to prevent moisture absorption, and it’s very effective in warm climates. However, it can be a favorite snack for raccoons and requires regular maintenance.

Blown-in or loose-fill insulation is a more comprehensive attic insulation option that can be injected in places where fiberglass batting can’t reach. It’s usually made from recycled materials such as cellulose and mineral wool, and can be installed quickly and efficiently. However, it can settle over time, and is susceptible to moisture absorption, which can lead to mold and mildew.
