The Role of Attic Insulation in Reducing Moisture and Mold
Fiberglass batts are the most common type of attic insulation. These are the large rolled up sheets you may recognize as being resembling cotton candy. Fiberglass is a planet-friendly option, as it was once made from recycled glass and sand. However, it doesn’t mix well with moisture and can sag or even degrade over time.
Loose-fill insulation consists of small particles that are blown into the attic cavity. This type of insulation can be made from fiberglass, mineral wool, or cellulose. Loose-fill is ideal for attics with multiple small holes or nooks and crannies that would be difficult to reach with other options.
Cellulose is another eco-friendly insulation, as it’s primarily made from recycled paper. It’s a fire-resistant option, too, when manufacturers add boric acid or other additives. The cellulose is blown into the attic cavity using special equipment. It is more expensive than fiberglass, but is the best at filling gaps and sealing cracks.
