text: A properly insulated attic is one of the best ways to keep your home cool in the summer. It’s also a great way to cut down on heating costs during the winter. Insulating your attic will also help to keep bugs and mice out of your house.
  There are several types of insulation available, including fiberglass batts, cellulose and spray foam insulation. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Consulting with an insulation expert is the best way to find out which type of insulation will work best for your specific situation.
  Eco-Friendly Attic Insulation Options Available at Traketon Insulation LLC
  Fiberglass batt insulation is a common choice for attics, and is easy to install. It offers good R-value and is available in mold and mildew-resistant forms. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper and is eco-friendly. However, it’s feared to be a fire hazard if not treated with flame retardants like ammonium sulfate or borate. It can be used as attic insulation or blown into walls and other places in the house.
  Spray attic insulation is sprayed on the walls, attic, and other surfaces of your house by a professional using a special rig that has two liquid chemicals that undergo a chemical reaction to form polyurethane foam. This type of insulation prevents air leakage, which improves indoor comfort and energy efficiency. It is often used in new-construction homes, pole barns, and commercial buildings. The foam expands to fill nooks and crannies that other types of insulation can’t reach. It provides excellent soundproofing as well.
