Attic insulation is one of the most important upgrades you can make to your home. It’s a cost-effective way to reduce energy loss and improve comfort while keeping pests and humidity out.

Fiberglass batt attic insulation is among the most popular types of attic insulation, offering a great R-value for the price. It’s easy to install as a DIY project or with the help of a professional contractor. It also comes in a variety of R-value options, so you can choose the option that’s best for your location.

Another popular type of attic insulation is cellulose. Cellulose is made from recycled paper that’s treated with fire retardants. It can be blown into attics, filling tight spaces more completely than many other types of insulation. However, cellulose can absorb moisture from the air and may need to be protected with a vapor barrier. Additionally, if it becomes damp, mold growth can occur quickly and may require expensive cleanup.

Maximize Energy Efficiency with New Generation Spray Foam Attic Insulation

Rigid foam insulation is available in panels or boards made from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate or polyurethane. It’s a good choice for insulating attic rafters because it can conform to their shape while offering high R-value. It’s also resistant to compression, reducing maintenance costs over time. However, rigid foam insulation can release harmful gases during installation and curing, requiring proper ventilation.

Whether you’re planning to upgrade your own attic or are interested in applying for a Weatherization Assistance Program, an Orkin Pro can assess your attic and living areas to find solutions like OrkinTherm and Orkin ComfortZone that fit your needs.
