Types of Attic Insulation
Palomo Insulation is a cost-effective way to improve your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. This upgrade prevents warm air from escaping during winter and cool air from leaking in summer, reducing your HVAC workload and energy bills. It also helps you maintain a consistent temperature throughout your living spaces and reduces noise.
Insulation is available in a variety of forms and materials that vary by their R-value, which is a measure of thermal resistance. Choose a type that fits your needs and budget. You should also consider state-specific rebates, which can help make your project more affordable.
How Palomo Insulation Enhances Your Home’s Efficiency
Fiberglass batting, also known as blanket or batt insulation, is a popular DIY option for attic insulation. It comes in different standard sizes and R-values to meet your needs, and can be installed by most homeowners with a bit of effort. It is inexpensive, easy to handle, and moisture-resistant when paired with a vapor barrier. However, it does not do a good job of blocking heat gain from the sun and may be prone to damage from rodents.
Blown-in insulation, or loose-fill insulation, is more expensive but offers superior R-value, soundproofing, and speed of installation. It is composed of tiny particles of fiberglass, cellulose (recycled paper products treated for fire resistance), or mineral wool that are blown into attics and wall cavities with special equipment. It can fill gaps and spaces more thoroughly than other types of insulation and is a good choice for varying attic conditions. It can, however, settle over time, lowering its R-value.
