Green Earth Spray Foam Boosts Attic Insulation and Increases R-Value

Green Earth Spray Foam is one of the most important investments that you can make to save money on energy bills and promote a comfortable indoor environment. It is also a great way to increase your home’s R-value, which will help you meet local building codes and boost energy efficiency.

Fiberglass batt insulation is the type that you picture when you think of attic insulation—it’s that colorful, cotton-candy-like stuff that comes in rolls and blankets. It’s a popular DIY choice for homeowners and can be a cost-effective option, but it has a lower R-value per inch than other types of insulation. It can be difficult to fit around pipes, wires, and other obstructions in an attic space, and it is prone to moisture damage.

Energy Savings with Attic Insulation: The Green Earth Spray Foam Advantage

Other attic insulation options include mineral wool, cellulose, and rigid foam. Mineral wool insulation is made from recycled paper products—primarily newspaper—and is treated with chemicals like ammonium sulfate and borate to improve fire safety and enhance its insulating properties. Cellulose insulation is another eco-friendly choice that provides a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass. It is also moisture-resistant and resists mold and mildew growth.

Rigid foam insulation is made from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane and is available in panels that are cut to size and installed against the attic’s structural components. It is highly insulating, durable, and resistant to compression. It is also more expensive than other attic insulation, and it emits harmful gases during production and installation. It also needs to be sealed properly to work.
