NextGen Spray Foam Insulation for the Attic

The attic is the best place to add insulation in order to reduce your home’s energy consumption and save money on utility bills.

fiberglass insulation also helps to create a more comfortable home environment. It keeps conditioned air in your home instead of escaping through the ceiling and can help to prevent cold drafts in winter and hot spots in summer. Attic insulation can also help to reduce outside noise, which is particularly important if you live near a highway or other sources of noise.

There are several options for attic insulation, including blown-in fiberglass, mineral wool, and cellulose. Blown-in insulation, or loose-fill, is comprised of small particles of fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool and is installed using a blowing machine. It provides quick installation, offers a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass batt insulation, and can be installed over existing fiberglass. It can be made from recycled materials and is often a green choice. However, it can settle over time, reducing its R-value, and can absorb moisture, which may lead to mold and mildew. It is best installed by a professional.

Another option is rigid foam insulation, which is typically installed between the attic floorboards and wall studs. It is made from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane and can be cut to fit. It is highly energy efficient and has a high R-value, but it can be difficult to install in hard-to-reach spaces. It is best installed by a professional and requires special safety equipment for handling.
