Metal building insulation is critical to keeping your home warm and cozy throughout the year. The US Department of Energy estimates that if your attic is poorly insulated, it’s losing up to 50% of its warmth. Poor attic insulation can lead to higher energy bills, uneven room temperatures, and ice dams in the winter. Adding attic insulation, or even sealing existing insulation, can dramatically reduce energy costs and improve comfort levels.

There are several different types of attic insulation to choose from, each with their own pros and cons. The best type of insulation for your home depends on your climate and goals.

How Attic Insulation Protects Your Panama City Home from Moisture Damage

Fiberglass batt insulation is an inexpensive option that provides good thermal and sound insulation. However, it is not as effective as other types of insulation and can be prone to mold growth when exposed to moisture. It also does not breathe as well, so it is important to wear a dust mask when working with fiberglass insulation.

Loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass is more expensive than rolled fiberglass batts but can be installed in difficult to reach areas of the attic such as between joists and behind walls without disturbing mechanical and structural elements. It can be blown on top of existing attic insulation, or poured into uninsulated attics to fill in gaps and nooks. Koala Insulation of Panama City installs blown-in loose cellulose and fiberglass for retrofit and new construction projects.

Spray foam is a cutting-edge attic insulation solution that expands when applied to create an airtight seal. It is a superhero for your home, protecting against temperature extremes and preventing outside air from penetrating into the house. In addition, it is eco-friendly and contributes to a greener world. ENERGY STAR rebates are available in many areas for attic sealing and insulation projects.
