ProSeal Spray Foam is an easy, cost-effective way to make your home more comfortable and reduce energy costs. Insulating the attic prevents warm air from rising into your living space during summer and escaping the house while keeping cool air inside. It also helps regulate temperature between floors and eliminates drafts. In addition, properly installed insulation can help with moisture control, pest control, and fire resistance. There are many types of insulation materials, including fiberglass batts, blown-in cellulose, spray foam, and mineral wool. Each type has different advantages and applications, so speak with a professional to determine which is the best choice for your home.

The Department of Energy recommends an R-value of 30 or higher for attics in most regions. However, the exact R-value recommended for your attic depends on factors like usage and climate zone. Hiring professionals to ensure proper attic insulation is installed correctly and achieves the desired R-value will maximize your investment and improve your home’s energy efficiency. Fiberglass batt insulation is a popular, economical option. It’s made of fine glass fibers and often contains up to 50% recycled content. It’s relatively quick to install and the most common choice for attics. However, it can become compressed over time, reducing its effectiveness. Blown-in cellulose attic insulation is a more eco-friendly alternative to fiberglass. It’s made from a variety of recycled material, including paper and cardboard. The materials are treated with boric acid before they’re blown into the attic using a blowing machine. Proseal Spray Foam 825 W Main St, Hortonville, WI 54944 (715) 467-7165
