Strategic Spray Foam Insulation for Your Attic

Insulating your attic can make a dramatic difference in the comfort of your home. In addition to energy cost savings, it helps to prevent outdoor pollutants such as dust, dander and radon from making their way into living areas. It also reduces the amount of humidity entering the home and helps to prevent mold and mildew growth.

Attic insulation contractor is one of the most effective, affordable and easy-to-do projects for a homeowner to improve their home. However, the upfront investment can make some homeowners hesitant to tackle the project themselves. To help ease the financial burden, there are a variety of financing options and government incentives available to lighten the load.

The Long-Term ROI of Attic Spray Foam Insulation

In addition to financing, there are a variety of other factors to consider when choosing the type of attic insulation. Some types of insulation are more efficient than others and some require professional installation. For example, blown-in and loose-fill insulation (typically fiberglass or cellulose) can be installed with the use of special equipment, but is not recommended as a DIY project. It can be difficult to achieve a consistent thickness and R-value when performing this task yourself.

Spray foam insulation (typically closed-cell) requires a more extensive and specialized installation process but can achieve a better R-value and act as a vapor barrier. It is generally preferred in new constructions or major renovations as it is the most durable and long-lasting option. Closed-cell foam can be more expensive than other options, but the resulting long-term energy savings make it an excellent choice for an attic.
