Spray foam insulation may not be as glamorous as wall or crawlspace encapsulation, but it’s just as important. It is often the first line of defense against moisture, pests and high energy bills. And if done properly, attic insulation can help homeowners save on home heating and cooling costs year-round.

Depending on the climate where you live, your budget and how comfortable you’re at keeping up with the latest DIY trends, there are many options to choose from when insulating your attic. Here are some of the most popular:

Fiberglass insulation: Most homeowners are familiar with this common form of attic insulation, which comes in pre-cut panels that fit between rafters and joists. It is fairly affordable and easy to install, but it doesn’t last as long as other types of attic insulation, like blown-in cellulose.

Loose-fill insulation: This type of attic insulation involves taking bags of loose material, such as fiberglass, mineral wool or cellulose, and blowing it into the attic space using a special machine. It’s a bit more expensive than batt insulation but is still a good option for hard-to-reach areas of the attic.

Spray foam insulation: This form of attic insulation acts as both an insulator and air barrier, sealing leaks and cracks to prevent heat and cold from passing through the ceiling into living spaces below. It is highly effective and durable, but it requires a professional installer due to the chemical handling involved in application.
