The attic is one of those parts of the home that many homeowners ignore until something goes wrong, such as a leak in the ceiling or rodent infestation.

Boost Energy Efficiency with Attic Insulation from Lx5 Insulators of Tulsa

Fiberglass batt insulation is a cost-effective option, and it’s easy to install by hand. It is also soundproof, which helps reduce external noises and keep internal sounds inside the house. However, it doesn’t mix well with moisture and can sag or lose its effectiveness when wet.

Blown-in insulation is a more expensive option, but it provides a higher R-value and is eco-friendly. It involves applying small, loose-fill materials like cellulose or mineral wool with a specialized hose. This method allows for precise placement and distribution, ensuring an even layer that minimizes heat leakage. It is also best suited for attics with standard joist spacing, few obstacles like ductwork or plumbing and enough headroom to maneuver.
