Insulation may not look pretty, but it does one important thing: It prevents warm air from escaping your home in the winter and cold air from entering in the summer. As a result, it reduces your energy costs and helps your heating and cooling systems run more efficiently.

Insulating your attic is an easy and cost-effective way to make your home more energy efficient. As part of a TCS Insulation & Coatings Home Upgrade, it’s also likely to qualify you for rebates and other incentives.

The type of insulation you choose depends on your needs and attic conditions. Several types of attic insulation exist, including fiberglass batts and blankets, mineral wool, loose-fill cellulose, and spray foam. Each offers unique characteristics and benefits, so it’s important to understand your options before making a decision.

Fiberglass batt insulation is made of glass fibers that are arranged in rolls or “batts” for easy installation. It is inexpensive, slows heat transfer and maintains consistent temperatures throughout your home, and also serves as a sound barrier. It does not mix well with moisture, however, and if it becomes wet, it can lose its effectiveness.

Cellulose is another inexpensive option that’s good for reducing energy use. However, it can be a problem for your indoor air quality. Cellulose tends to absorb water, and the boric acid used in its manufacture can become toxic if it develops mold or mildew. Additionally, cellulose insulation can settle and sag over time, which can leave gaps around ceiling penetrations that can lead to air leakage.
