Often overlooked, attic insulation can make a dramatic difference in your home’s energy costs and comfort. Investing in the proper attic insulation can significantly reduce your energy bills, and it can also increase the resale value of your home.
The Stack Effect
During the hot summer months, the sun’s heat radiates down through the attic and into living spaces below. Insulation stops the downward transfer of this sweltering heat and allows cool conditioned air to flow freely throughout your home, making for a much more comfortable environment.
Fiberglass batt insulation is a popular DIY option because it’s inexpensive and easy to install. It’s made from tiny glass fibers that are effective at reducing heat transfer and sound transmission. This type of insulation can be harmful if touched or inhaled, so proper protective gear is recommended when installing fiberglass.
Mineral wool (Rockwool) insulation is a natural product made from rock and slag, melted and spun into fibers. This eco-friendly insulation is more effective at reducing heat transfer and has a lower risk of mold growth. It’s available in a variety of roll sizes and loose-fill form.
Cellulose insulation is an environmentally friendly alternative to fiberglass and is made from recycled paper, cotton, wool, straw, or hemp that’s treated with fire-resistant chemicals. This insulation is available in a variety of roll sizes and can be blown or sprayed into attics.
