Evaluate Existing Insulation
The condition of your attic’s existing insulation is a key factor in determining whether it’s worth insulating the rest of your home. Assess its thickness and R-value, comparing it to the Department of Energy’s recommended levels for your climate. Look for mold, water damage, or compression, which can diminish its effectiveness.
Choose the Right Insulation Type
You have many options when it comes to attic insulation, including blanket insulation, blown-in fiberglass, and spray foam. These different types are each suited to certain situations and have their own benefits, so it’s important to select the right one for your needs and attic conditions.
Blanket insulation is often a popular choice because it’s affordable and easy to install. It comes in pre-cut sheets that easily affix to unfinished attic spaces. It’s made from glass, cellulose (recycled newspaper treated to be fire-resistant), or other materials like plastic and mineral wool. It is a good choice for DIYers who want to avoid the expense and hassle of hiring a professional to handle the project.
