Insulation may not look pretty, but it does a great job of keeping hot air out in the summer and cold air out in the winter. This keeps your home more comfortable and reduces the need to overwork your heating or cooling systems. It also contributes to climate change mitigation by reducing energy consumption.

It is a good idea to evaluate your existing insulation to determine the R-value, or thermal resistance rating, and if it needs an upgrade. Different climates require a higher or lower R-value than others, and older homes need a higher value. More info distinctivesprayfoam.com

There are several different types of insulation available, including fiberglass batts, blown-in cellulose and spray foam. Fiberglass and mineral wool insulation can be installed yourself, if you have access to a ladder and are comfortable crawling around in your attic. It is best to have a professional install spray foam and other more advanced attic insulation types.

How Distinctive Spray Foam Improves Energy Efficiency with Attic Insulation

Blown-in cellulose is made from recycled materials, such as paper, newspapers and cardboard, that are treated with boric acid to make them flame resistant. It is blown into attics and between joists with a special blowing machine, making it an eco-friendly option. It is also a more effective attic insulation type than fiberglass and mineral wool.

Closed-cell spray foam acts as an insulator and air barrier, sealing leaks and gaps. It has a high R-value per inch, and is highly moisture resistant. It is more expensive than other attic insulation options and should only be installed by a trained professional.
