While DIY options like fiberglass batt insulation are popular and relatively inexpensive, this form of attic insulation does have drawbacks. Unless you are very comfortable with working in the attic, DIY installation is best left to professionals as improper techniques can lead to costly repairs and may even pose safety risks.
The Benefits of Spray Foam Over Traditional Attic Insulation
The next option for attic insulation is blown-in cellulose, which is a more eco-friendly material than fiberglass batting. This material is made from recycled paper, including things like newspapers and cardboard. It is then treated with boric acid and other chemicals to make it fire-resistant and safe for use in your attic. Like rolled fiberglass insulation, blown-in cellulose is also relatively cheap and easy to install.
A more advanced and expensive option for attic insulation is spray foam. This two-part liquid expands into a solid foam upon curing, filling all gaps and crevices. Spray foam also acts as an air barrier, keeping outside air from seeping into your home. It’s a great choice for hot climates, as it can reduce humidity and prevent mold growth. As an added benefit, closed-cell spray foam insulation is moisture resistant and offers structural support. However, spray foam must be installed by professionals due to its chemical handling and safety risks.
