Adding attic insulation is one of the best ways to reduce energy costs and keep your home comfortable. However, proper removal of old material, addition of effective new insulation and professional installation are vital for a successful upgrade.

A properly insulated attic can lower heating and cooling costs by keeping the conditioned air in your living spaces instead of escaping through the ceilings. It can also help prevent heat from escaping in the winter and making rooms colder than they need to be.

Desert Spray Foaming types of attic insulation available include fiberglass, cellulose and spray foam. While they each offer some benefits, cellulose offers the best value and performance. It’s made from recycled paper and treated with a fire retardant chemical, making it an eco-friendly option. It also provides better thermal efficiency than fiberglass and a higher R-value than other products.

Fiberglass batt insulation is an inexpensive choice that provides good R-value and moisture resistance. However, it may contain asbestos and can cause skin and lung irritation. It can also off-gas fumes during and after installation, requiring adequate ventilation.

Rigid foam insulation is a more expensive option that is typically installed in sheets or blocks. It comes in a wide range of thicknesses and R-values, including polystyrene, polyisocyanurate and polyurethane. This type of insulation can block odors, reduce noise and last for years.

A well insulated attic helps reduce energy waste, but it can also be a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Moisture buildup can happen in three different ways: air currents, diffusion and heat transfer. The best way to prevent this is to remove all boxes, doo-dads and other items from the attic before insulating it.
