Types of Attic Insulation

Noble Insulation Inc is one of the most overlooked areas in a home, but insulating it can significantly reduce energy costs and enhance indoor comfort. A properly insulated attic keeps hot air out in summer and cold air out in winter. It also helps regulate indoor temperatures and reduces the stress on mechanical systems, prolonging their lifespan.

There are several types of attic insulation, based on material and R-Value, which is a measurement of the ability of an insulation to resist heat flow. A professional will recommend the best insulation for your specific needs.

Improve Energy Efficiency with Attic Insulation from Noble Insulation Inc

Fiberglass batt insulation is made from recycled materials and is a cost-effective option. It offers good sound insulation and is safe to handle. However, it can settle over time, reducing its R-value. It can also absorb moisture, leading to mold growth and sagging of the ceiling.

Cotton insulation, made from shredded and treated denim, is an eco-friendly option. It is soft and easy to install, but it can become heavy over time if it absorbs moisture. It is also fire-resistant and insect-proof.

Blown-in insulation is composed of small particles of fiberglass, cellulose, or rock wool. It is installed with a machine that sprays the material into place. It provides good sound insulation and can fill gaps and corners more effectively than batt insulation. It also has a high R-Value and is often made of recycled materials. However, it can settle over time, and it requires an air gap for effective performance.
