An attic insulation contractor can be one of the most affordable home improvement projects you can do. It can save you money on your energy bills and also protect your home from moisture problems and rodents. However, choosing the right type of attic insulation is important. The R-value — a measurement of how well a material resists heat transfer — is a critical factor, but there are other factors to consider as well.

Many people choose fiberglass batting, commonly referred to as blanket or batt insulation. It comes in a range of thicknesses and R-values and is easy to install. It can be cut to fit around obstructions and does a good job of filling gaps. It is also moisture-resistant, but only when it’s paired with a vapor barrier.

Other DIY options include cellulose, mineral wool or rockwool loose-fill insulation. These materials are also easy to install and are relatively affordable. However, they are susceptible to moisture and may not be as effective at insulating as fiberglass. Loose-fill is also a fire hazard and can be difficult to clean and maintain, as it tends to attract dust, dirt, and debris.

Another option is spray foam insulation, which can be used for both wall and attic insulation. It is more expensive than other types of attic insulation, but it provides an excellent R-value and helps to create an airtight seal. It is also a healthier choice than other types of insulation because it does not contain asbestos or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It should be installed by a professional to ensure proper installation and prevent damage to your roof structure.
