How Straight Edge Insulation Improves Comfort Through Attic Insulation

Cellulose insulation: This natural option is cheap and a great choice for attics with access to a duct crawl space or other ventilation. However, it will settle over time, causing it to lose its R-value and potentially lead to attic leaks and drywall sagging. In addition, cellulose emits gases during and after installation, which require adequate ventilation.

Blown-in insulation: A versatile choice for attics and wall cavities, blown-in insulation is made of fiberglass or cellulose. Its loose-fill nature allows it to adapt to spaces, making it ideal for retrofitting older homes or topping up existing insulation. It also has a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass batts and a more consistent look.

Spray foam insulation: This high-performance insulator is a two-part liquid that expands to form a solid, insulating layer upon curing. It can be applied to all surfaces, sealing cracks and crevices. It has a higher R-value per inch compared to other insulation types and acts as an air barrier, sealing leaks. It also provides structural support and has good moisture resistance.
