Vortex Insulation is an inexpensive and energy-efficient upgrade that improves the comfort of your home in summer and winter. It’s so effective, in fact, that its cost is usually recouped through energy savings within a year. The first step in insulating your attic is choosing the type of insulation that’s right for you. There are several options to choose from, and the process of insulating your attic will vary depending on what you select.

How Vortex Insulation Saves You Money on Energy Bills

Blown-in cellulose insulation is a popular choice. This attic insulation is blown in using a blowing machine with small particles of recycled materials such as fiberglass, cellulose, and mineral wool. It has a high R-value, and the material can be applied to uneven surfaces and cover gaps more thoroughly than other attic insulation types. It is also eco-friendly, as it uses recycled materials such as paper, cardboard, and newspaper. However, it can settle over time, lowering its R-value, and moisture absorption can occur (leading to mold or mildew).

Spray foam insulation is another attic insulation option that expands on contact to fill cracks and crevices. It’s an air barrier as well as an insulator, and can seal leaks to help reduce moisture infiltration and improve energy efficiency. It’s also a great choice for hard-to-reach spaces. It requires professional installation due to its chemical handling and off-gassing. It also has a higher cost than traditional batt insulation. However, there are ENERGY STAR rebates available in some states and provinces to offset the costs.
