Adding attic insulation helps preserve your home’s thermal envelope and keeps heat from escaping in winter and cool air out in summer. Properly maintained insulation can reduce energy bills and improve comfort in your Las Vegas home. It can also prevent ice dams in the winter and protect your roof from damage and help to minimize mold, mildew, and pests.

Fiberglass batting, also known as blanket or batt insulation, comes in rolls that can be cut to the size of your attic. It is inexpensive, easy to install, and does a good job at keeping heat inside your home. However, it can be moisture-sensitive and is a favorite snack for raccoons. It can also settle over time, reducing its effectiveness, and it doesn’t mix well with moisture.

Innovative Attic Insulation Solutions: Spray Foam vs. Traditional Methods

Blown-in attic insulation in Fort Collins, CO (sometimes called loose-fill or cellulose) is made up of small particles of fiberglass, cellulose, and/or mineral wool blown in place using special equipment. It provides a more comprehensive coverage and fills gaps and crevices better than fiberglass batt insulation. It is often made of recycled paper products and has a high R-value per inch. It can also absorb moisture, resulting in the growth of mold and mildew. It may need to be replaced sooner than other insulation types.

Spray foam insulation is a two-part liquid that expands into a solid when applied to attic surfaces. It is a highly effective attic insulation type that acts as both an insulator and an air barrier, and it has an excellent R-value per inch. It also resists moisture, which makes it ideal for climates with high humidity levels. This type of attic insulation requires professional installation because it contains chemicals that can be dangerous if they come into contact with skin or are inhaled. It is recommended that you wear gloves, goggles, and a respirator when handling it.
