Spray foam is one of the most cost-effective ways to make your home more comfortable, and it can save you a lot on heating and cooling bills. You can do it yourself as a weekend DIY project or hire a professional to help you. Either way, ENERGY STAR can help you get the job done.

The right attic insulation can help you save energy, stay more comfortable in your home and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts. It’s important to properly evaluate your attic insulation to determine its R-value — the measure of thermal resistance — and compare it to the Department of Energy’s recommended levels for your area. It’s also essential to keep an eye out for moisture issues like ice dams and mold.

The Environmental Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation in Your Attic

Attic insulation can also prevent air leaks from passing through the attic and into your living spaces. Keeping your attic well-insulated can ensure that warm summer air stays cool and cold winter air stays inside. Insulation can also block the flow of radon and other pollutants into your home.

Rigid foam insulation comes in panels or boards made from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane that can be cut to fit the attic’s structural components. It has a high R-value per inch and is durable, resistant to compression, and moisture-resistant. It’s also less expensive than fiberglass batt insulation and can be installed without a vapor barrier. However, it is off-gassing and requires proper ventilation during and after installation.
