Spray foam insulation is one of the best investments homeowners can make to save energy and keep their homes comfortable. It can significantly reduce air leaks that cause wasted energy and lower home comfort. Plus, it is a great way to prevent the formation of dangerous ice dams during winter.

There are 4 types of attic insulation:

Fiberglass: Made from tiny glass fibers and available in batts or rolls. It’s inexpensive, easy to install, and doesn’t degrade over time. It also blocks out external noise and keeps internal sound quiet. However, it can irritate the eyes and skin during installation and may require special protective gear. It’s also not ideal for humid climates.

Cellulose: Made from recycled paper and plant-based materials and treated with fire retardants. Environmentally friendly, with good thermal performance and can be blown or sprayed into attics. It can also seal gaps and cracks. It can be expensive, and it may settle over time, reducing its effectiveness.

Sprayed Foam: A liquid that expands into foam when applied; it can be open- or closed-cell, and is more effective at sealing gaps and cracks than other types. It’s more expensive than other types and requires professional installation.
