Insulation in your attic helps regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the workload of your HVAC system in the summer and keeping warmth inside during the winter. Proper attic insulation also serves as a barrier against moisture, preventing mold and mildew from compromising the health and safety of your family.

There are four types of attic insulation, each with their own advantages and disadvantages: fiberglass batts, cellulose, foam board, and spray foam. Choosing the best option depends on your specific needs and the type of attic space. A professional insulation installer can provide insight into the most effective options for your home.

DIY vs. Professional Attic Insulation: What You Need to Know

Insulation Panama City is composed of tiny glass fibers that are woven together with cotton batting, providing good thermal performance and fire resistance. This type of insulation is available in a variety of R-values and can be easily installed in attic spaces with minimal disruption. However, it may lose some of its insulating effectiveness over time due to settling and can become damaged by moisture.

Blown-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is made from small particles of fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool that are blown into your attic with a blowing machine. This type of insulation is ideal for attics with tight spaces and angles. It is also more affordable than other options, such as cellulose and blown in fiberglass, but it does not offer the same fire protection. It can also absorb moisture, lowering its R-value and increasing the risk of mold and mildew.
