Properly insulated homes also require less energy to maintain comfortable temperatures, making them more environmentally responsible.

316 Insulation of Tacoma: Attic Insulation to Lower Energy Bills

The cost of attic insulation will vary depending on the type you choose and how much you need to install. Fiberglass batts are the most popular choice, offering a good R-value and good air sealing. Spray foam insulation offers superior energy efficiency and is nontoxic and odorless. If you are interested in installing these materials, consult the manufacturers’ instructions and follow local safety regulations.

Structural insulated panels are another option for attic insulation. These panels consist of a layer of rigid foam sandwiched between plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) and can be used to insulate an attic that will eventually be converted into living space. This insulation is more costly than fiberglass, but it offers superior R-value and can be installed in a variety of attic layouts. In addition, it is resistant to moisture and can be installed over existing roof decking.
