New Generation Spray Foam For Attic Insulation

An attic that’s properly insulated can make a huge difference in the comfort of your home and how much energy your house uses. It can also help you avoid ice dams in the winter and keep heat from getting into your basement. Adding insulation to an existing attic is typically a moderately difficult DIY project, though you may want to consider hiring professionals for specialized types like spray foam.

Loose-fill or blown-in Insulation Contractor uses bags of loose material, like cellulose, fiberglass, mineral wool, and rockwool, to fill an attic space. The materials are blown in with special equipment, ensuring that it’s evenly distributed and covers all areas of the attic. This type of insulation is relatively inexpensive, but it doesn’t provide as strong a barrier to heat from entering or leaving your home as spray foam.

Spray polyurethane is a more expensive option, but it’s very effective at keeping heat in or out and can be used to insulate walls as well as roof cavities. It is best installed by professionals because it requires specialized equipment and training to get the most out of it. It also contains harmful substances, called isocyanates, which can irritate the eyes and lungs and lead to chemical dermatitis over time. New, reformulated versions of spray polyurethane foam are available with lower amounts of isocyanates and a small amount of hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) blowing agent.

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are prefabricated attic panels that incorporate an insulation core between pieces of sturdy material, like oriented strand board (OSB). SIPs are usually only used in new construction and major renovation projects, as they require specialized skills to install. However, they can offer superior and more consistent insulation compared to traditional building methods.
