Many homeowners overlook the attic insulation in their homes. They usually only take note of the space when there is a problem, such as a leak in the ceiling or a rodent infestation. However, attic insulation is a great way to increase the energy efficiency of your home. In fact, it can reduce energy costs by keeping conditioned air in your home instead of escaping through the ceilings. It also provides a more consistent temperature throughout the house and soundproofs against outside noises.

Boost Your Home’s Efficiency with Attic Insulation by Spray Foam Genie Detroit

If your attic is accessible and you are a handy person, insulating your attic may be a good DIY project for you. It is important to be aware of the safety issues involved in working in your attic and have a helper with you when beginning the task. It is a good idea to wear a dust mask and a lightweight disposable coverall while you work in your attic. Stray fiberglass particles can get into your eyes and lungs, so it is best to protect yourself.

There are several types of insulation to choose from. Some of the most common are blanket insulation (batting), loose-fill or cellulose. Blanket insulation comes in pre-cut panels that are easy for you to install yourself. Loose-fill or blown-in insulation is made of cellulose, fiberglass, mineral wool, and other materials that are blown into place. It is a good choice for attics with irregular spaces that would be difficult to cover with blanket insulation.
