If you aren’t well insulated, your home is likely to waste energy. That’s why attic insulation is one of the top upgrades you can make for a comfortable and affordable home. Attic insulation helps maintain the desired temperature throughout your home, as well as mitigate air leaks and ice dams during the winter.

However, it’s important to choose the right attic insulation material for your climate, house type, DIY preference, and budget. There are 4 common types of attic insulation – blanket, fiberglass batts, spray foam, and panel – that all offer different benefits and applications.

Benefits of Choosing Georgia Insulation for Your Attic Insulation Project

Blanket: Made of cellulose or fiberglass, spray foam insulation is typically fitted between attic joists and rafters to slow the spread of hot and cold air. It’s inexpensive, fire-resistant, and moisture-resistant. However, this type of insulation may irritate the skin and eyes during installation; it’s best to wear proper safety gear for the task. It also doesn’t mix well with moisture, so it can lose its effectiveness over time.

Fiberglass: Made of tiny glass fibers, fiberglass batt insulation is inexpensive and easy to install. It is a good choice for new construction or remodels that follow building codes. It is also fire-resistant, moisture-resistant, and soundproof.

Spray Foam: Made of a liquid that expands into foam when applied, spray foam is an advanced insulation option for new construction or retrofits. It has a high R-value, seals gaps and cracks better than other attic insulation options, is highly mold-resistant, and dries quickly.
