Attic insulation is an advanced insulation that offers a number of benefits that improve your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, durability, and moisture resistance. It’s a valuable upfront investment that yields substantial long-term savings on your energy bills, and its high R-value allows you to enjoy optimal thermal performance.
In its basic form, spray foam is comprised of two chemicals (isocyanate and polyol resin, typically) kept in separate hoppers or tanks that meet at the tip of a spray gun during application. The mixture reacts immediately and forms an airtight seal within the building’s envelope, filling crevices and voids to provide a comprehensive air and vapor barrier.
Spray Foam Insulation for Attics: Benefits and Installation Guide
Unlike fiberglass insulation, which loses R-value over time, spray foam retains its effective R-value — or insulating value per inch — and won’t degrade from exposure to the sun or other environmental factors. It also resists moisture penetration, a significant cause of mold development that may require costly remediation.
When applied to a wall or roof, spray foam insulation can minimize unwanted air movement, significantly reducing the workload placed on your heating and cooling system during the winter and summer. As a result, your utility bills will go down substantially, making it easier to afford your energy costs while promoting a more sustainable household that benefits the environment.
Spray foam can also limit sagging or compression, resulting in improved structural integrity. It also prevents air leakage and is ideal for new construction projects, rim joists, attics, crawl spaces, and commercial buildings. It can be installed in existing homes as well, though professional installation is recommended to ensure the best results.
