United Spray Foam LLC is often an afterthought for homeowners, only being considered when they discover rodents have made a home in their attic or when there’s a noticeable drop in energy efficiency. However, insulating the attic can provide many benefits, not only reducing energy costs but also improving indoor air quality (IAQ).

There are 4 main types of attic insulation: -Fiberglass batts and rolls are flexible fiber sheets that fit within wall studs and floor joints and can be cut to size for areas where pipes or wires will run through them. This type of insulation is easy to install and offers good value. It doesn’t settle, which is a big plus for attics with uneven floors and walls. This insulation is also moisture-resistant, so it won’t sag or lose its insulating power when it gets wet.

Tips for Maintaining Your Attic Insulation

-Blown-in loose fill is made of a mixture of recycled paper and fibers, such as fiberglass or mineral wool. This type of attic insulation is a great choice for filling in holes and gaps, especially around vents, ducts, recessed lights and furnace flues. It can also be purchased with flame-retardant additives, such as ammonium sulfate or borate.

-Spray foam insulation is a form of solid-cell insulation that is applied by professionals and sprayed into walls using special equipment. It is one of the most expensive forms of attic insulation but can offer very high R-values. The chemicals used to create this type of insulation can be toxic when inhaled or if skin contact occurs, so extreme care is required.
