Attic Insulation Installation Process by 316 Insulation of Tacoma

Over time, attic insulation can settle or compress, reducing its R-value. It can also be contaminated by moisture and pests, which can affect its ability to protect your home from the elements. In addition, if your attic is filled with boxes and other clutter, it may prevent proper insulation installation.

The most common type of attic insulation is fiberglass batt insulation, which comes in a variety of thicknesses and widths, with or without a paper facing. It’s easy to install and is best for attics with standard joist spacing, few obstacles to work around and ample headroom. Another option is loose-fill, or blown in, insulation, which is made of cellulose, mineral wool, or fiberglass and is blown in place by professionals using special equipment.

Spray foam insulation is a more advanced product that expands upon application, filling gaps and cracks effectively. It’s more expensive than the other options, but it provides a higher R-value, has better soundproofing capabilities and acts as a pest deterrent. Professionals installing this type of insulation will use specialized equipment and wear protective gear.
