An adequately insulated attic is vital for the comfort and energy efficiency of your home. In Las Vegas, winters are chilly, and summers hot, and proper attic insulation can help you save on your monthly energy bills. But how do you choose the best type of attic insulation for your home? In this article, we’ll explore 4 types of attic insulation, plus dive into the pros and cons of each, so you can decide what is right for your space and budget.
Desert Spray Foaming batt insulation is a common and cost-effective option. It is available in pre-cut batts or long rolls and fits between the framing members (such as joists and trusses) in your attic. It is good at resisting heat flow, easy to install, and doesn’t promote mold growth. It is also a great option for sealing air leaks around your attic’s ladder, vents, and other openings.
Blown-in cellulose is similar to fiberglass, but it’s made from all-natural recycled materials and has better performance when it comes to heat resistance. It’s also more environmentally friendly than other types of insulation, as it doesn’t require manufacturing new material.
The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation for Your Attic
Spray foam insulation is a great option for attics, and it can be installed in addition to existing fiberglass and cellulose. It’s sprayed in a thick liquid form by professionals and quickly hardens into a solid, dense, durable insulation that seals air leaks and moisture barriers as well.
If you are considering insulating your attic, consult with a professional installer for the best results. They can help you understand the best R-value for your climate, inspect your attic to ensure it’s free of any obstructions or rodent holes and remove any existing insulation, and recommend any other insulation upgrades for a complete energy efficient upgrade.
