When the attic has sufficient insulation and is properly air sealed, it offers some of the most significant energy savings potential in a home or business. It can help prevent costly air conditioning overwork during the summer and reduce wear and tear on heating systems during winter. It can also help to avoid the formation of dangerous ice dams in the winter.

There are several different types of ENERGY STAR certified attic insulation, and a variety of installation methods. Some types of attic insulation require professional installation, while others are a moderately difficult do-it-yourself project for homeowners with some DIY experience.

What to Expect During an Attic Insulation Install with Coastline

The most common attic insulation is fiberglass batts, which can be purchased at your local home improvement store. They are available in different R-values, which determine how much heat they block from entering or exiting a space.

Cellulose is another spray foam insulation option. It is made of recycled paper that has been treated with borate for fire resistance and insect control. It is blown into crevices and cavities, and can be added to existing attic insulation to increase its R-value.

Foam insulation is more expensive, but it can be installed in a wider range of spaces than other insulation types and provides an excellent R-value per inch. It also acts as an effective air barrier and helps seal leaks and gaps, reducing air infiltration and improving energy efficiency. It can also help prevent moisture damage, mold, mildew, and rot.
