Joe Blow’s Insulation in your attic regulates the temperature throughout the rest of the home, so you can enjoy a cozy house even when it’s hot or cold outside. It also prevents air leaking into unheated and under-insulated rooms, which reduces the amount of energy it takes to keep your home comfortable.

Your attic is one of the easiest places to add insulation. But the type of insulation you choose depends on several factors, including your budget and how comprehensively you want to insulate your home. Generally, blown-in and loose-fill insulation are the least expensive options, while spray foam is more costly.

Elevate Your Living Space: A Deep Dive into Effective Attic Insulation

Fiberglass batts are a classic choice for attic insulation, offering R-38 value and easy installation. They are sized to fit between the standard spacing of the wood framing in wall and ceiling cavities and come with a paper backing that helps block moisture. The primary drawbacks of fiberglass are its toxicity (airborne particles can be unhealthy to inhale) and its lack of resistance to moisture, which can decrease its effectiveness.

Loose-fill fiberglass is a DIY project, but you must be prepared for a mess and to wear protective gear, including a mask. You’ll need to purchase bags of insulation and a rented blowing machine, which can be found at most home improvement stores. The basic process requires two people; one person loads the bags into the machine, and another holds the end of the hose in the attic to install the insulation.
