When it comes to energy savings and comfortable indoor environments, attic insulation is an often overlooked, yet powerful home improvement option. A well-insulated attic helps prevent warm air from escaping in winter and cool air from penetrating in summer, significantly lowering your HVAC workload and resulting in reduced energy bills month after month.

The key is choosing the right insulation, which is rated by R-value—the higher the rating, the better it insulates. According to the Department of Energy, a R-30 or higher insulating value is recommended for most homes.

Coastline Insulation’s Top Tips for Effective Attic Insulation

Coastline Insulation is a common and affordable choice that offers good thermal performance and fire resistance. Cellulose insulation, made from recycled newspaper treated with boric acid, is less expensive than fiberglass but may not insulate as effectively. Foam board insulation is more expensive but provides greater thermal resistance. It’s also fire-resistant and acts as an air barrier, sealing leaks.

Spray foam is an extremely effective attic insulation that’s installed with specialized machinery. It’s the most durable and highest-performing insulation on the market. It’s available in open- and closed-cell varieties and provides both a high R-value and structural support. It’s also moisture resistant and adds rigidity to attic ceilings.

While the upfront cost of attic insulation can be prohibitive, it is an investment that pays off in energy savings and comfort. Additionally, a well-insulated attic improves your home’s overall resale value and is an attractive feature for prospective homebuyers. To ensure that you get the best return on your investment, consult a professional to assess your attic insulation needs.
