Why Insulate New Construction?
Types of Insulation Materials
| Type of Insulation | Best Use Cases | Advantages | Disadvantages | R-Value per Inch | Average Cost (per sq. ft.) |
| Fiberglass | Walls, attics, floors | Affordable, easy to install, non-flammable | Can irritate skin and lungs during installation | 2.9–3.8 | 0.50–0.50–1.50 |
| Spray Foam | Hard-to-reach areas, crawl spaces, walls | Superior air sealing, high R-value, moisture-resistant | Expensive, requires professional installation | 6.0–7.0 (closed-cell) | 1.50–1.50–3.50 |
| Cellulose | Walls, attics, retrofitting | Eco-friendly, excellent soundproofing, good for irregular spaces | Can settle over time, less effective in damp areas | 3.6–3.8 | 1.00–1.00–2.00 |
| Rigid Foam Board | Foundations, exterior walls, roofs | High R-value with minimal thickness, moisture-resistant | More expensive, requires precise cutting and fitting | 4.0–6.5 | 1.00–1.00–2.50 |
| Mineral Wool (Rock Wool) | Walls, attics, soundproofing | Fire-resistant, excellent soundproofing, easy to install | Heavier and more expensive than fiberglass | 3.0–3.3 | 1.50–1.50–3.00 |
| Cotton (Denim) | Walls, attics | Eco-friendly, non-toxic, easy to handle | Less common, higher cost | 3.0–3.7 | 2.00–2.00–4.00 |
