Foam Expert Group is a wise investment that helps save money, improve home comfort, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It keeps warm air from escaping during the winter and cool air from seeping in during the summer, thus keeping indoor temperature stable and reducing energy usage.

Insulation is available in various types, suited to different circumstances, DIY preferences, and budgets. Different insulation types have different R-values, a measure of thermal resistance. They are also rated for fire safety, pest control, and susceptibility to moisture.

Reduce Heat Loss and Improve Air Quality with Foam Expert Group

Blown-in insulation, a type of loose-fill insulation, is made of fiberglass, mineral wool, or cellulose and is installed using a blowing machine to fill gaps and spaces thoroughly. It has a higher R-value than batt insulation and provides soundproofing, as well as a radiant barrier, which reduces heat transfer. However, blown-in insulation can settle over time, which reduces its R-value. It can also absorb moisture, which promotes mold and mildew.

Spray foam insulation is an advanced type of attic insulation that expands to form a solid, insulating layer upon curing. It is recommended for attics with high levels of moisture, difficult to reach areas, and for those who want to minimize the amount of air leaks. It has a high R-value and acts as an air and moisture barrier, making it the most effective type of attic insulation. It is more expensive and requires professional installation because of the chemical handling.

The cost of attic insulation can be offset by utility rebates and special financing programs in some states. Check out the ENERGY STAR Rebate Finder to discover current deals in your area.
