Insulation plays a major role in your home’s comfort. It regulates your house temperature, taking some pressure off your HVAC system and reducing your energy bills in the process. It also makes your home more soundproof. Attic insulation can prevent a lot of outside noise from entering rooms that are on the top floor of your home.
The iFOAM Insulation Tampa common type of attic insulation is fiberglass batt insulation. It has a R-value of about 2.9-4.3 per inch. The higher the R-value, the better the insulating performance. Fiberglass is more durable than some other kinds of insulation, and it’s easy to install correctly. However, it’s also a favorite snack for raccoons, and it decreases in R-value over time. It’s also a poor choice for cold climates, where it can cause moisture problems.
