Straight Edge Insulation – Choose the Right Attic Insulation for Your Home

In most homes, the attic is out of sight, out of mind—until something goes wrong. A poorly insulated attic can lead to high energy bills, hotter rooms during summer and colder ones during winter, and a host of other problems like moisture buildup, mold growth, pest infestations, and more.

Upgrading your attic insulation is an affordable way to reduce air conditioning costs, make your home more comfortable year-round, and improve indoor air quality. At Straight Edge Insulation, we use blown-in cellulose, mineral wool, or spray foam to provide a total seal and ensure optimal energy efficiency.

Boost Your Home’s Efficiency with Attic Insulation by Straight Edge Insulation

Unlike traditional fiberglass batt insulation, blown-in cellulose is made from recycled paper products and other materials that are treated with boric acid to prevent fires and flame spread. It’s blown into place using special machinery and is available in various widths to accommodate the standard spacing of wall studs, attic trusses or rafters, and floor joists. It comes with or without a facing, which helps with handling and installation.

Rigid foam insulation is made from polystyrene or polyisocyanurate in panels that are cut to fit your attic’s structural components and serve as a thermal barrier. Its thick, closed-cell structure makes it effective in hard-to-reach places and serves as a moisture and air barrier. The R-value per inch is very high, and it provides strong resistance to vapor flow, preventing moisture buildup and condensation. This is an ideal option for attics and other areas requiring a thin, high-performance insulation.
