WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN HAVING INSULATION INSTALLED
Common Insulation Myths
Myth: Insulating the ceiling forces more heat to leak out of windows.
Truth: Adding insulation to one part of a home won't increase the "pressure" on heat losses through other parts, but poorly insulated areas will continue to be major sources of heat/cooling loss.
Myth: Stuffing thicker insulation into a smaller space increases its R-value.
Truth: Fiberglass insulation works like trapped air pockets. Compressing it decreases the amount of air trapped and reduces its R-value.
Myth: Mold likes fiberglass.
Truth: Fiberglass doesn’t hold water very well unless it is soaked and it does not provide food for biological growth. Dirty fiberglass happens when it captures dirt as air flows through it, not because of mold.
Your Insulation Choices
The Home Depot offers three types of quality insulation:
Loosefill blown-in insulation is installed by trained and certified professionals.
• Does not absorb moisture
• Resists mold
• Does not settle or deteriorate
• Is noncombustible and noncorrosive
• Maintains insulating power over time
Spray radiant barrier* is applied in a thin, even coat to the underside of your roof deck and gable ends.
• Reduces radiant heat transfer by up to 81%
• Is a lower-cost option for cutting radiant heat entering your attic
• Is environmentally friendly and has very low odor
Foil radiant barrier reflects radiant heat to reduce heat transfer from your roof deck into your home.
• Reduces summer attic temperatures up to 30 degrees
• Reflects heat out in the summer and back into the living space in winter
• Lessens the burden on HVAC units

WORRY-FREE ATTIC INSULATION INSTALLATION
Good
Installing insulation is a fast, economical way to lower your energy bills. If your house insulation is low R-value, old, compressed or nonexistent, R-19 insulation is a good baseline improvement. R-19 (resistance to heat) provides basic protection from outside heat loss or gain and helps standard heating and cooling equipment maintain a comfortable temperature inside.
Better
To step up your home’s energy efficiency, choose a higher R-value insulation and a spray radiant barrier* to prevent heat loss or gain, reduce heating and cooling costs and increase comfort. Because blown-in loosefill insulation doesn’t settle, it maintains the same energy-saving level over time.
*Where available
Best
R-49/60 insulation provides excellent protection from heat loss or gain for a more comfortable home and lower energy bills. R-49/60 insulation is especially effective when combined with a radiant barrier foil installed on the underside of your roof. It blocks radiant heat and keeps house insulation cooler and more efficient.
