Whether it’s made from treated shreds of cellulose blown into attic spaces or fiberglass rolls laid out between ceiling joists, attic insulation is one of the most effective means of aiding weatherproofing buildings. It helps lower heating and cooling costs by preventing energy loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. It also makes a building more comfortable by keeping a consistent indoor climate and reducing drafts.

Spray Foam vs. Traditional Attic Insulation | NextGen Spray Foam Insulation Weighs In
Blown-in insulation is made from loose particles of cellulose, fiberglass, or rockwool that are blown into attic spaces by a machine designed specifically for this purpose. It offers more comprehensive coverage than fiberglass batt insulation and reduces sound transmission. However, it tends to settle over time and can decrease its R-value; additionally, it can absorb moisture, leading to mold and mildew.
Spray foam insulation, which is installed by professionals and can increase your attic’s R-value significantly, is the best option if you’re looking for high performance and comfort. It seals tightly to create an airtight barrier that prevents the mixing of interior and exterior climates, maintaining a stable internal environment regardless of outside conditions. It also helps control moisture and adheres to fire safety standards.
