We can break down the most common types of insulation by putting them in three major categories: cellulose, fiberglass, and spray foam insulation.
Cellulose insulation
Cellulose insulation claims to be the most “green” option; is 85% made of recycled materials like news paper and magazines. Treated with boric acid and borate, making cellulose flame resistant, pest resistant and mould resistant. More dense than fibreglass and with slight higher r-value per inch.
Disadvantage: For being heavier settles and keeps moisture more than fibreglass.
Advantage: Highly recommended on Farm houses for being pest resistant.
Fibreglass insulation is a man-made mineral fiber. Constructed from sand and recycled glass. Is the most popular form of insulation. More than half of the homes in Canada are lined with this kind of insulation in walls ceilings and attic spaces.
Disadvantage: More expensive and pest friendly than cellulose.
Advantage: Keeps its R-value, Let the humidity dries easier than cellulose.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is the most expensive, but at the same time for having a higher r-value, being vapour and air barrier has a lot of benefits. Making attics and cathedral or vaulted ceilings bulletproof.
