Types of Insulation
There are several types of insulation available, each suited for different areas of your home:
1. Fiberglass batts
2. Blown-in cellulose
3. Spray foam
4. Rigid foam boards
Choosing the right type depends on factors such as your climate, home structure, and budget.
Where to Insulate
Key areas to focus on include:
– Attics
