If you’re looking for ways to save energy, boost your comfort and make your home greener, a good start is by improving attic insulation. Low attic levels and air leaks can make your air conditioning and heating work harder, leading to high energy costs. The right insulation is also key for deterring moisture and preventing mold, mildew and rot.

The type of attic insulation you choose depends on several factors, including your climate and local building codes, as well as the R-value recommended for your home. Here are some common ENERGY STAR® certified options:

Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation is a budget-friendly choice. It comes in pre-cut batts or rolls and fits easily between the framing members, like joists and trusses, in your attic. Fiberglass is inexpensive and effective, providing excellent resistance to heat flow. It also doesn’t promote mold or insect infestation, and it’s fire-resistant.

Mineral wool insulation is made from natural rock materials and can be found in both batt and roll form. It provides effective resistance to both heat and sound, and it’s naturally fire-resistant and non-toxic. Its moisture resistance makes it a good choice for attics that could be susceptible to condensation or high humidity.

Blown (Loose Fill) Insulation

Made from shredded and treated recycled denim, cotton insulation is eco-friendly, affordable and non-irritating. It also has an average R-value and is treated with boric acid for fire resistance and rodent control. However, it does absorb moisture and can promote mold growth if not properly ventilated.
