Insulation may not be a household item that’s pretty to look at, but it serves an important function: keeping conditioned air inside your home, and outside air out. This keeps your air conditioner and heater from overworking to maintain comfortable temperatures, saving you money on utility bills throughout the year.
If you’re thinking about insulating your attic, it’s helpful to know that there are several options available. These include fiberglass batt and roll insulation, cellulose, and spray foam. Fiberglass is a common and affordable choice, as it comes in blankets or rolls that easily fit between attic framing members like joists and trusses. It’s also treated to resist fire and moisture.

Cellulose, which is made from recycled paper, offers a higher R-value and more versatility in attic applications. It is also more fire-resistant than fiberglass and can be treated to improve its performance even further. However, cellulose has the potential to absorb moisture and promote mold growth if it becomes damp, so proper moisture control is key.
Another option for attic insulation is to add loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass, which is done with a blowing machine that can be rented from most home improvement stores. This type of insulation is typically left to professionals, as it is best for those who are familiar with working in attics and have a machine that can be operated safely.
