What type of insulation is used for ceilings?
There are multiple kinds of insulation that work if you are looking to insulate your ceiling.
Fiberglass Batts & Blankets
R-value: 3.0-4.0 per inch (R-13 for a 2-by-4-framed wall).
Advantages: Widely available and familiar, standard widths and thicknesses are designed to fit between studs, joists, and rafters. Paper- and foil-faced versions have stapling flanges that make installation easy.
Rockwool Batts & Blankets
R-value: 4-5 per inch (R-15 for a 2-by-4-framed wall).
Advantages: More fire-resistant than fiberglass. Doesn’t itch. Springs into shape against studs, so installation is staple-free and quick.
Loose-Fill Fiberglass
R-value: 2.2–2.7 per inch.
Advantages: Lightweight enough for attic applications over ½-inch drywall ceilings with framing every 24 inches.
Loose-Fill Cellulose
R-value: 3.2–3.8 per inch.
Advantages: Effective at all temperatures, and can even perform better as the air gets colder.
Open-Cell Polyurethane Spray Foam
R-value: 3.5 to 3.6 per inch.
Advantages: Stops movement of air.
Closed-Cell Polyurethane Spray Foam
R-value: 6.0 to 6.5 per inch.
Advantages: Stops movement of moisture as well as air.
Fiberglass Batts & Blankets
R-value: 3.0-4.0 per inch (R-13 for a 2-by-4-framed wall).
Advantages: Widely available and familiar, standard widths and thicknesses are designed to fit between studs, joists, and rafters. Paper- and foil-faced versions have stapling flanges that make installation easy.
Rockwool Batts & Blankets
R-value: 4-5 per inch (R-15 for a 2-by-4-framed wall).
Advantages: More fire-resistant than fiberglass. Doesn’t itch. Springs into shape against studs, so installation is staple-free and quick.
Polystyrene SIPs
R-value: 5.6-7.7 per inch.
Advantages: The highest R-value per inch of any insulation with a thickness that ranges from ½ inch to 2 inches. It’s often faced with foil, which acts as a moisture barrier. Easy to install.
To insulate these types of ceilings properly, homeowners should choose knowledgeable insulation installers like the Green Attic Insulation. Our primary goal is to educate our customers in the importance of proper attic insulation.
Conventional Ceiling Insulation
Conventional Ceilings, also known as traditional ceilings, are the standard type of ceiling found in most homes and buildings.
These conventional ceilings are popularly known to use blown-in insulation which blows in loose fill insulation material to the attic space.
This method allows better coverage and fills gaps more effectively. Proper ventilation in attics with conventional ceilings are necessary because adequate ventilation helps regulate temperature and moisture levels, preventing issues such as condensation and mold growth.

Suspended Ceilings
Suspended ceilings, also known as dropped ceilings, offer a straightforward and cost-effective solution to conceal ceiling imperfections, wiring, and overhead ductwork. Lowering high ceilings can lead to decreased heating and cooling expenses.
Commonly featuring 2-foot-by-2-foot or 2-foot-by-4-foot grids, these ceilings are designed to accommodate standard 24-inch fiberglass insulation batts.
Optimal results are achieved by using batts with paper facing on one side, providing limited vapor barrier benefits as the paper faces downward during installation.

Romuno and his team came on time and were very cordial and friendly. They discovered
an issue with some electrical work while working on the insulation, which I was surprised and happy about, and were able to rectify the situation easily and at a great value, considering the timing of the project, etc. Romuno made it clear he want to ensure my satisfaction throughout the process. When finished, the job site was cleaned very well.
I highly recommend this company and all its team members and hope to do more projects in the future with them!

Romulo and his teammate were so fast and clean at insulating and repairing our damaged
ceiling due to a roof leak. Again it was easy to engage green Attic as a return customer because I felt well treated with their work when they first insulated and managed.to transform our cold home. Great job!

Romulo & Alvaro did a great job installing everything. Cindy, Frank and the Green Attic team
were extremely attentive. I love how easy they made the process, everything is online even the rebates.
BONUS: I originally reached out to them to check for mold free of charge.

These guys did a great job! Great price, quality service, and they offer several payment
options and plans. I thought we bought a lemon of a house and the insulation and sealing job they did fixed all of our issues and were so thrilled! Highly recommend these guys. Plus they are local so it’s great supporting a chicago based company.

Highly recommend Green Attic. Scheduled to have my attic re-insulated and Romulo
and his crew did a fabulous job. The attic was in pretty bad shape prior to the work getting done and green attic made it look so good. The crew worked efficiently and got the job done in 2 days. I also asked Romulo to install a couple other things on my roof outside of the scheduled project and he very kindly and willingly did so without hesitation. Very pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you so much for a job well done! Before and after pics below.
