Adding metal building insulation can help improve your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. It can keep conditioned air from being lost through the ceilings, and it can also help to alleviate dangerous ice dams in winter. And if you’re installing insulation as part of an ENERGY STAR home upgrade, it may qualify for a financial incentive.

Fiberglass batt insulation is a popular attic insulation material. It’s available in a wide range of R-values, and it’s relatively inexpensive. It’s also easy to install. But you have to be careful, as it’s made from glass and can be dangerous if you get it wet. And if you do, it can take a long time to dry out—if it ever does.

Cellulose insulation is another attic insulation option that’s made from recycled newspaper and other materials. It’s also very effective. It’s a good choice for smaller attic spaces, and it can be installed very quickly. It’s also very moisture resistant, and it can reduce outside noises and prevent mold growth in attics.

Loose-fill attic insulation is a mixture of fiberglass, mineral wool, and/or cellulose insulation that’s blown in to an attic space. It’s very effective and affordable, but it does require some manual labor. It can be difficult to reach all of the cracks, crevices and corners in some attics. It’s also a bit more expensive than other types of attic insulation. But you can often save money by purchasing it in bulk. It’s easy to calculate how much loose-fill insulation you need by multiplying the square footage of your building by its thickness.
