Installing attic and wall insulation is an effective way to maintain comfortable temperatures in your home and conserve energy. While adding home insulation helps decrease your heating and cooling costs, you can save additional dollars by installing many types of insulation yourself. The helpful experts at Ace Hardware will help you find the right insulation roll or batting to meet your needs with a diverse selection of products from top brands like Reflectix and Owens-Corning.

What Is Home Insulation vs House Wrap?

Insulation and house wrap go hand in hand, but these essential construction materials serve different purposes, and it’s important to know which type is best for your home’s needs. The job of insulation is to help regulate the temperature inside a home. It keeps heat from entering in the summer, while ensuring it stays inside in the winter. R-value is the degree to which house insulation affects heat flow.  The higher the R-value, the more effective home insulation is at climate control.

House wrap is a protective barrier that covers studs and insulation; its function is to prevent moisture from getting inside the home. When properly installed, house wrap can lower the likelihood of black mold growing. In addition, keeping the insulation dry helps improve its effectiveness, so you see more significant benefits in terms of temperature control.

How to Choose the Right Insulation

When shopping for house insulation, you can choose from a variety of types, including:

  • Loose-fill: This type of insulation is blown or sprayed into place using an insulation-blowing machine. Professionals normally install loose-fill insulation due to the special equipment involved.
  • Insulation batt: Cut into blanket form for easy handling, this type of insulation works best for unfinished walls, floors and ceilings and is installed in pieces.
  • Insulation roll: This type of insulation looks like batting, but instead of being installed in pieces, it’s rolled out between wall and ceiling framing, limiting the number of gaps.
  • Insulation board: These rigid insulation panels can be installed anywhere in the home.
  • Radiant barrier insulation: This type of insulation reflects heat and tends to work best in hot climates.

Depending on the type of insulation you're buying, you may have your choice of materials. Fiberglass insulation is the most common option, and it’s available in batting, rolls and as loose fill. Other insulation materials include foam, cellulose, mineral wool and foam. If you’re not sure which type of insulation is right for you, talk to the experts at Ace.
