If you’re planning to replace or install a new insulation, you have to choose from different types according to the Department of Energy (DOE), which include:
Blanket: batts and rolls
Concrete block insulation
Insulating concrete forms
Foam board or rigid foam
Loose-fill and blown-in
Reflective system
Rigid fibrous or fiber insulation
Sprayed foam and foamed-in-place
Structural insulated panels
Each type uses different materials, from fiberglass to spray foam. Their performance varies, too, depending on what part of your home you want to insulate and the material’s R-value (its resistance to conductive heat flow.) Working with an insulation professional helps you identify the right material to use in your home.
