316 Insulation for Your Attic
When properly installed, attic insulation prevents conditioned air from escaping through the ceiling, making it possible to keep rooms more comfortable even when your home is operating at lower energy use. This translates to lower energy bills for the homeowner and may also increase home value.
The recommended R-value for your attic space will depend on factors like your climate zone, local building codes and budget constraints. In general, homeowners should aim for a minimum of R-30 in order to maximize energy efficiency.

Depending on your project scope, you have a few different insulation options to choose from. Fiberglass batts or blankets are the preferred choice for attics with standard joist spacing and minimal obstructions. They are easy to install and are available in a wide range of R-values. Alternatively, loose-fill or blown-in insulation such as cellulose, fiberglass or mineral wool is a great option for attics with irregular or hard-to-reach spaces. This type of insulation is typically applied with a blowing machine and requires professional installation, but it offers higher R-values than the traditional fiberglass option.
Blown-in insulation is also ideal for attics with moisture issues, as it is treated to resist moisture and mold growth. It is worth noting that any attic insulation should be inspected for water damage to ensure the integrity of the material and prevent the buildup of moisture inside the house. This can lead to mold, a health and safety hazard and will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the insulation.
