Common Type of Insulation

There are some common type of insulation are available in attic they are as follows.

• Medium- or high-density fiberglass batts

• Loose fill cellulose, fiberglass, mineral wool or vermiculite

Standard density batts and rolls

• Batts and rolls are made of fiberglass or mineral wool• Rolls are normally 16 to 100 feet in length. • Batts are precut to specific lengths.• Both fiberglass and mineral wool batts are fire and moisture resistant. They are available with or without a vapor barrier facing.• Some batts are wrapped in plastic for easy handling. This

plastic has small holes, so it is not a vapor barrier.

Medium- and high-density batts

• Medium- and high-density fiberglass batts offer more insulation value for a given thickness than standard fiberglass.

• They are often used in cathedral ceilings and sidewalls

Loose-fill

• Loose fill insulation comes packaged in bags.

• Loose fill is either blown with a machine or poured from the bag directly into the attic

• Blowing in insulation is faster and offers better coverage. You can rent equipment to blow in loose fill, but most people hire an insulation contractor.

• Loose fill is better than rolls or batts for attics with irregular joist spacing or with many obstructions.

Air Sealing

• Minimizing air movement in and out of a house is key to building an energy-efficient home.

• Controlling air leakage is also critical to moisture control.

• The most common air barrier material is house wrap, which is wrapped around the exterior of a house during construction.

• Sealing all the holes and seams between sheet goods such as drywall, sheathing, and subflooring with durable ,tape, and foam sealants will reduce air leakage.

• Using one of these techniques can significantly reduce air leakage to help improve a home's energy efficiency.

Vermiculite attic insulation

• Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral which expands into a very lightweight material when heated.

• Vermiculite pellets were commonly used to insulate attics until the 1990’s.

• vermiculite was thought to be harmless, and indeed in its pure state there are no health risks posed by vermiculite.
