Adding insulation to your attic is an inexpensive way to cut energy costs and make your home more comfortable year round. The EPA recommends a minimum of R-30 blown-in fiberglass or batt insulation. R-value is a measurement of thermal resistance, with higher numbers providing greater insulating power. You should also check your attic’s existing insulation levels before you add new materials. If you discover that your attic has no insulation, or your current insulation is less than the recommended amount, it’s important to air-seal the attic before you add more insulation.

Signs Your Attic Needs Better Insulation: A Guide by Keystone Premier

Attic insulation offers resources to help you measure your attic’s current level of insulation, determine the best type of insulation to install, and hire an insulation contractor. You may also find information on local rebates and incentives that can help offset the cost of installing new insulation.

If you choose to undertake the installation yourself, be sure to use a face mask when handling loose-fill or blown-in fiberglass insulation, as it can cause a respiratory reaction in some people. Always wear a mask when working with spray foam as well, as it can contain isocyanates and polyurethane, which are irritants.

If you’re looking for a premium insulation solution, Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation can provide open or closed cell spray foam for your attic. Unlike other insulation types, spray foam creates an air seal that minimizes conduction and convection, reducing energy bills and keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
