When insulating your attic you have to think about what type of insulation you want to use, how much you need, how much it is going to cost and the most important, how good is the insulation and will it last? There are different types of insulation and most very easy to install.
If you want a long lasting and very effective insulation, foam insulation is one of the best, but it is harder to install and therefore it must be installed by a professional. Foam insulation is also a bit more expensive than the other methods because it offers the highest R value in insulation and is also the longest lasting method of insulation.
Foam insulation comes in two types. The first is open celled foam, foam that is less compressed and holds a lot of air bubbles, because of this it can be removed very simply removed. The second is closed cell foams, foam that is very dense and compressed and hardly holds any air at all, this foam is a lot harder and is higher in R value and can’t be removed easily.
Because of the difficulty of installation for this type of insulation it should be carried out by a professional, so that it is done properly. The foam must be mixed and then placed into a machine to be able to spray it into the holes and uneven spaces in the attic. The foam will spread through the holes and begin to expand and get harder. If sprayed evenly, there will be no gaps between the insulation and will last longer.
Make sure that you are fully protected if you are in the attic when the insulation is taking place. By having your face and body fully covered with the proper mask and clothes, you will be at less risk from any damage the foam may cause.
