Insulation contractor is a key component in making your home more energy efficient, helping to reduce your HVAC workload and energy bills. It prevents heat from escaping your home during winter and cooling air from leaking into your home during summer, increasing the comfort of your living space. It also prevents moisture and pests from affecting your home, such as causing the shingles on your roof to rot or creating mold in your walls.
There are a few different types of attic insulation you can choose from, including fiberglass batts and rolls, mineral wool, and spray foam. Fiberglass is a popular choice as it’s relatively inexpensive and has a high R-value, which means it blocks out most of the heat that passes through your attic ceiling. However, it’s prone to settling and does not handle moisture well (a major drawback). It’s also a favorite snack of raccoons!

Mineral wool is made from rock mineral materials and offers excellent thermal resistance. It is also fire-resistant, which makes it a safer choice for attics where safety is a priority. It also does not rot or help spread flames, which makes it an ideal option for areas that are exposed to water or moisture.
Another type of attic insulation is spray foam, which comes in two varieties: open and closed cell. This is installed using special equipment, which blows the loose-fill insulation into your attic space and seals it to create a vault-like seal. It’s the most expensive option, but it offers superior insulation and can be used in places that cannot be accessed, such as attics with awkward joist spacing. This insulation is made from a variety of recycled material, and boric acid and other chemicals are applied to it to make it fire-resistant.
