Spray foam insulation is an inexpensive way to dramatically lower energy bills. It prevents the heat from rising into the home in the summer and escaping in the winter, keeping your living space comfortable with less dependence on heating and cooling systems. It also helps to avoid condensation issues, reduce the risk of mold, and improves indoor air quality.

Before beginning an attic insulation project, it is important to ensure the attic has a clear space and that all air leaks have been sealed with caulk or spray foam. It is also recommended to remove all boxes and clutter from the attic as this can hinder the effectiveness of the new insulation. It is a good idea to install vent chutes at the eaves of the house to allow for proper ventilation.

Top Benefits of Attic Insulation by Desert Spray Foaming

The most common attic insulation is fiberglass batts. This is a cost-effective, quick solution that comes in different widths and thicknesses with or without a paper facing. It can be laid down over existing attic insulation but is more effective when installed perpendicular to the first layer. It is best suited for attics with standard joist spacing, few obstacles to work around, and sufficient headroom for maneuvering during installation.

Another option is blown-in insulation. This is a popular choice for both professionals and DIYers. It is made from cellulose, fiberglass or rockwool and is installed with specialized equipment. It has a high percentage of recycled content and is eco-friendly. It is a more expensive option, but provides an efficient barrier to heat loss in the attic and can save a substantial amount on energy costs.
