Types of Attic Insulation

Synergy Spray Foam & Air Conditioning works to stabilize indoor temperatures, taking the stress off your heating and cooling systems and improving home comfort. It can reduce your energy costs significantly in the winter and keep conditioned air from escaping into uninsulated spaces during the summer.

The good news is that a simple attic insulation upgrade can pay for itself by saving on utility bills over time. However, you need to know what types of insulation are available and which one will best fit your needs.

Blanket Insulation

This type of attic insulation comes in blankets or sheets and is fitted between joists in the attic to stop heat from escaping the home. Common and inexpensive, it is typically made from fiberglass or natural materials like rock wool and cellulose.

How Attic Insulation from Synergy Spray Foam Reduces Utility Bills

Another popular option for attic insulation, blown-in attic insulation is often made from cellulose, recycled paper, or fiberglass and is installed using special equipment that blows the material into place, ensuring optimal coverage with minimal gaps or voids. This type of insulation offers an R-value of between R-19 and R-30 depending on the material used and can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional fiberglass batts.

Spray Foam Insulation

For a more advanced solution to attic insulation, spray foam can be applied in a thick layer directly onto attic surfaces to create an airtight barrier that will keep warm air from escaping during the winter and cool air from spreading through the house during the summer. It is available in open- and closed-cell options with each offering different benefits, including durability and moisture resistance.
