Open-cell spray foam has an R-value of about R-3.7 per inch, while closed-cell spray foam has an R-value that may be as high as R-6.5 per inch.
The most common types of materials used for loose-fill insulation include cellulose, fiberglass, and mineral (rock or slag) wool. All of these materials are produced using recycled waste materials. Cellulose is primarily made from recycled newsprint. Most fiberglass products contain 40% to 60% recycled glass.
Polyurethane Foam. Polyurethane, a durable polymer with numerous uses, is made into a foam for home insulation. Icynene. Imagine a material that expands to almost 10 times its initial volume and stops air in its tracks. Cellulose. Sheep's Wool.
Fiberglass, cotton, and mineral wool can all work as loose-fill material, but the far and away top choice for blown-in insulation is fiberglass. Contrary to batts, blown-in fiberglass insulation is perfect for filling in tight voids around wiring, pipes, or any area with awkward framing.
Safe and Sustainable Materials Natural, formaldehyde-free materials make eco-friendly insulation products the best choice for a green and healthy home. Unlike fiberglass, insulation materials like wool and cotton are safe to handle and cause no irritation to the skin or respiratory tract.
Mineral wool is my top choice for batt insulation. It is in widespread use by builders who build green or high-quality homes and is the most obvious alternative to fiberglass. It is also easy to source. The batts can be used between wood studs anywhere in the house.
Cellulose is the oldest insulation material used for not only the attic but other areas of the home as well. Fiberglass is another traditional insulation material that consists of extremely fine glass fibers.
Spray foam insulation fills all spaces, preventing air from escaping. It acts as an air barrier. Like cellulose insulation, spray foam insulation is significantly more efficient than fiberglass and has a higher R-value.
