316 Insulation of Olympia – Types of Attic Insulation

If you’ve ever experienced the annoyance of feeling your home’s temperature change after turning off your heating, it likely means that there is a problem with your attic insulation (or lack thereof). Insulating your attic with the right type can help reduce energy costs and improve overall comfort.

There are several types of attic spray foam insulation, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. The best option depends on your climate and the level of R-Value that you desire. Fiberglass batts, mineral wool and cellulose are common attic insulation options. Each has its own unique properties, though fiberglass is commonly used and is the cheapest. Mineral wool is more expensive, but it has better thermal performance and a higher R-Value than fiberglass.

Cellulose is an eco-friendly choice, made from recycled newspaper, cardboard and office paper products. It is also fire resistant and contains boric acid to protect against mold, mildew and insects. It’s a bit more costly than fiberglass, but has an R-Value that is 23 percent greater.
