Spray Foam vs Fiberglass: What Works Best in Charlotte’s Climate

Blown-in cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper products treated with fire retardants, and it is both eco-friendly and durable. It is highly insulating and can fill even the smallest cracks and crevices to maximize thermal performance. Cellulose insulation is also resistant to pests and mold. Spray foam insulation is a liquid that expands upon application to form an airtight seal that minimizes energy loss and leaks. It is heavier and more expensive than other insulation, but it delivers high R-values and is moisture-resistant.

Prior to beginning an attic insulation project, it is crucial to inspect the attic space to ensure it is in good condition. It is important to clear the attic space of any boxes or other items to provide a clean workspace and allow for proper air flow during installation. In addition, it is recommended to wear protective gear such as a dust mask, goggles and work gloves when working in the attic. It is also a good idea to cover lighting fixtures and any other objects that will be covered with insulation.
