Spray foam insulation is a critical component that plays an essential role in home energy efficiency. It helps reduce your energy bills by limiting the amount of heat that passes through your attic during summers and keeps your house warmer during winters, while also protecting your shingles and plywood from heat and moisture. In fact, without sufficient attic insulation, your home could lose up to 85% of the heat it generates.

There are four main types of attic insulation. The first is fiberglass batt insulation, which is what most people imagine when they hear the term “insulation.” These are big, rolled-up sheets that resemble cotton candy and are made out of tiny slivers of glass (which were once transformed from sand and recycled material) and treated with vapor, making it an eco-friendly option.

Another type of attic insulation is cellulose, which is made from recycled paper products and has a high R-value per inch. It is installed by spraying it with a special machine and is more effective at filling gaps than other types of insulation. It is a cost-effective alternative to fiberglass. However, cellulose is known for absorbing moisture and can be susceptible to mold growth, and must be installed by a professional.

Finally, you can install a radiant barrier in your attic to prevent the transfer of sunlight into your attic and your home during the summer. This is a particularly useful option for homes in hot climates. It works by reflecting radiant heat back to the surface of your roof and reducing solar gain.
