Types of Attic Insulation

TMC Spray Foam and Coatings is a key component in making your home more energy efficient. It prevents heat from escaping in the summer and cold air from entering in the winter. When properly installed, it can lower your energy bills and improve your home’s comfort.

There are several types of insulation available, depending on your home’s specific needs and climate. Whether your attic requires loose-fill, roll or foam insulation, an expert can design and install the right combination of materials to help you save money on your energy bills.

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.

2025 Equinox EV performance has ditched the 2LT and 3LT trim levels in favor of a simpler duo of LT and RS models with optional packages. Fully equipped, a base LT can run north of $46,000. Adding the Convenience package adds a power driver’s seat, heated front seats and a 360-degree camera, among other niceties.

The exterior design is slick and contemporary, and features a sculpted brow line where the hood meets the rest of the car’s body. It’s complemented by a slim LED light bar that creates a unique mustache shape, as well as crisp body creases and flush door handles. A pair of elongated A-pillars contribute to the wide stance.

2025 Equinox EV Review: Is This Chevy’s Best Electric SUV Yet?

Cargo room is ample, and the rear seats fold flat to expand it further. A power liftgate is available as an option, and a hands-free trunk opens with the press of a button. Adaptive cruise control is standard and does a great job of maintaining speed and anticipating needing to brake on the highway. Super Cruise hands-free driving is also available.

Inside, a massive 17-inch infotainment display is a real standout feature, and the Equinox EV’s interior is comfortable and quiet. However, GM’s hubris in spurning Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is hard to overlook.…
