Insulate Your Attic With Spray Foam Genie Charlotte

The attic is an area of the home that is often out of sight and out of mind. Homeowners usually don’t consider insulating it until there is a problem, such as a leak in the ceiling or rodent infestation. But an attic filled with insulation will not only prevent these problems, it can also help save money on your energy bills.

When it comes to metal building insulation, there are two main types: fiberglass batting and loose-fill (or blown) cellulose. Both can increase the R-value of your home, but each has its own benefits.

Fiberglass batting, also known as blanket or batt insulation, is made from recycled glass spun into fibers. It has good R-value and is relatively inexpensive. However, it can be susceptible to moisture and is a favorite snack for rodents, such as mice, rats, squirrels, and raccoons.

Blown cellulose insulation, on the other hand, is made from recycled paper or cloth materials that are shredded and treated to be fire resistant and insect repellent. It is also a great choice for attic insulation because it is not only moisture-resistant, but it also resists the growth of mold and mildew.

How Spray Foam Genie Charlotte Delivers Long-Lasting Comfort

It is not as expensive as fiberglass batting, but it has a higher R-value and provides better sound insulation. Blown cellulose also has the added benefit of being free from ozone depleting chemicals and a low global warming potential. It is also easy to install and can be used in most homes.
