Pole Barn Insulation in your attic is a great way to make your home more energy-efficient, especially in cold climates. It will reduce your energy bills, improve indoor air quality (IAQ), and prevent the formation of dangerous ice dams in winter. It can also increase your home’s resale value.
The type of insulation you choose depends on your climate, budget, and energy efficiency goals. Choosing the right R-value is key, but so is selecting an insulation that will work well with your attic’s ventilation system.

Loose-fill or blown-in insulation is made from bags of loose material like fiberglass, mineral wool, or cellulose and is blown into the attic with a special machine. It offers the most flexibility in terms of placement and can help fill small gaps and cracks. It also comes in mold and mildew-resistant forms, making it an option for homes with moisture issues.
Fiberglass batt insulation is made from tiny fibers of glass woven together and is available as pre-cut batts or as loose-fill. It has a higher R-value per inch than other types of insulation, and it can be installed to meet your attic’s specific requirements. It doesn’t react with water, unlike cellulose, which can cause it to sag and lose its insulating power.
Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper and typically has a high R-value per inch. It’s a good choice for cold climates, as it resists moisture and keeps its insulating power over time. However, it can be sensitive to moisture and requires a more thorough air sealing than other types of insulation. It also must be installed by trained professionals due to its chemical handling.
