It’s important to choose the right type of insulation for your attic based on your region and local building codes. There are several insulation materials to consider, including fiberglass batts or rolls, blown-in cellulose, mineral wool and spray foam. Each type has different R-values, thicknesses and moisture resistance.

The Cost of Attic Insulation: What to Expect

Fiberglass batt insulation is a common, inexpensive choice. It’s made from tiny glass fibers and can be found in precut rolls or in loose-fill form (which combines recycled paper with rock or slag fibers). Fiberglass can be irritating to the skin and eyes, so it’s important to wear proper safety gear when working with it. It also doesn’t like moisture and may degrade over time, so a vapor barrier is recommended.

Loose-fill insulation is similar to fiberglass, but it’s comprised of cellulose and other natural materials. It’s available in precut rolls or in loose-fill, which can be blown into attics or applied by hand. It offers a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass batts, and it’s rated to resist mold and mildew growth.

Cellulose insulation is made from recycled newspaper and other plant-based materials, which makes it an ecofriendly option. It’s also fire resistant and moisture-resistant, but it does not provide as high an R-value as fiberglass. Closed-cell spray foam is more expensive but offers a high R-value and can fill gaps better than other types of insulation.
