I have an older home which needs insulation in the attic and under open porch areas.I've heard about the spray foam insulation which is supposed to be more effective than the blown in typeAlthough the attic has the blown in type already it needs additional insulationDoes anyone have any knowledge about the different types and which would be best for my project? Also, is there somewhere that an individual can rent the equipment? Thank you.
open cell and closed cell open cell-regular sized bubbles and an r-value of 3.5 per inch closed cell-small encapsulated bubbles and an r-value of 6-7.25 per inch depending on manufacturerTends to be more expensive per R unitMaterial is MUCH more denseTalk to an insulation's systems specialist to see which is more economicalMust be licensed to install the stuffAlso look into adding a radiant barrier to improve the attic efficiency.
