Talk with an insulation expert about which type of insulation is right for your home: Blanket Glass mineral wool blanket insulation is packaged in batts, or rolls, and comes in a variety of thicknesses, widths, lengths and “R-values”—the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. Batts & Rolls Batts are most commonly installed in homes’ sidewalls, attics, floors, crawl spaces, cathedral ceilings and basements. Loose Fill Glass mineral wool loose-fill insulation consists of individual bits designed to be blown into attic spaces or other areas of the home that are hard to access with blanket insulation. HOW TO LOWER ENERGY COSTS With a DIY home energy audit, you can follow a checklist to locate air leaks, identify energy-efficiency upgrades and find areas that need additional insulation. The best way to make your home more energy-efficient, however, is with a professional home energy audit, in which a professional efficiency expert visits your home and identifies ways to help you save money on energy costs.
