An adequately insulated attic will prevent the transfer of air between different parts of the home, stabilizing the temperatures throughout the house and minimizing energy use. This helps reduce bills and reduce your carbon footprint. In addition, insulation creates a barrier that keeps attic air from leaking into occupied spaces during summer and preventing attic air from escaping into unoccupied space during winter, thereby reducing cooling costs and heating bills.

The type of attic insulation needed depends on various factors including usage and climate zone, as well as the R-value required to achieve recommended performance standards for your area. A qualified professional can help you choose the right attic insulation for your needs.

Increase Home Value with Quality Attic Insulation by Synergy Spray Foam & Air Conditioning

Fiberglass batt insulation is the most commonly installed attic insulation and what many people think of when they picture insulation. It’s made up of tiny slivers of glass that were once sand and other recycled materials. It’s available in varying R-values and works best for attics with standard joist spacing, few obstacles to work around, and sufficient headroom for maneuvering during installation.

Synergy Spray Foam & Air Conditioning is composed of recycled paper, fibers, natural materials and sometimes animal fur. It’s very cheap and has a high R-value per inch, but it can lose its R-value over time due to the settling of the cellulose fibers. It also absorbs moisture and is at a higher risk of drywall sagging and rot.

Foam boards are made of polyurethane, polystyrene or polyisocyanurate and are much more effective than traditional attic insulation. This type of attic insulation has a high R-value, acts as an air barrier, and seals leaks and gaps. It’s a great choice for attics with structural or mechanical elements that won’t need to be accessed in the future. It requires special machinery for application and is typically installed by professionals due to the chemical handling requirements.
