This document discusses different types of attic insulation used in hot and cold climates. For hot climates, rolled and blown-in fiberglass or cellulose insulations are commonly used, along with radiant barriers. For cold climates, loose fill cellulose and rock wool batt insulations are effective at preventing cold air entry. Proper attic insulation installation is important for moderating indoor temperatures and reducing energy costs year-round.

1. Types Of Attic Insulation In Hot
And Cold Climates

2. Attic Insulation
• Attic insulation installation is one of the essential
factor for the house which experience the extreme
cold and hot climate to keep the temperature
moderate all day.
• The attic insulation is the process covering the house
with certain type of materials to suite the climatic
condition prevailing in the specified region.
• There are many type of insulation process being used
since ancient times. Some are listed below

4. Types Of Attic Insulation
• The evolution of
insulation(athoins.blogspot.com/2016/02/evolution-
of-home-insulation.html) process is the worth
noticing process, as in each and every type the
disadvantageous factors are overcome.
• Despite number of types used in insulation process,
there are certain types of insulation most commonly
used depending on the season.

5. Hot Climatic Region
• In hot regions, the temperature will be very hot and
this type of temperature occurs in the arid and
desert area.
• In certain countries, the extreme hot prevail only
during summer so the need of attic insulation is
avoided and they cope with the temporary hot
climate with the electric machineries and some
energy saving methods
• Some of the energy saving methods are -

6. Rolled In Attic Insulation
• The insulation done in hot climatic region should be
done along with the implementation of radiant
barrier in order to increase the efficiency of the
insulation type used.
• Rolled attic insulation is made up of fibrous materials
and this is the expensive among other insulation
types.
• The rolled insulation installation and replacement
process is very easy due to the flexibility in the
materials used.

8. Blown In Attic Insulation
• It is essential to use radiant barrier in this type of
insulation also.
• As the name implies the insulation process is done by
blowing the think layer in the specified region.
• This type of insulation is made of cellulose or fiberglass
type.
• They are cheaper but requires the help from the experts
for the effective installation process.

10. Cold climatic region
• The cold climate not just implies breezy and long
time moisture climate, the region said to
experience extreme cold if the temperature goes
below 20 degree Celsius.
• The ice dams and the snow storms are
predominant in certain region, the high cold
temperature gives rise to many disease with the
people with less immunity.
• The common type of insulation done in cold
regions are mentioned below

11. Loose Fill Cellulose Insulation
• Cellulose is the type of insulation materials which is
considered to be the eco-friendly process of insulation
implementation.
• The loose fill cellulose is installed by blowing the
cellulose materials (recycled newspaper) in the wall and
the floor.
• This helps to withstand the amount of cold air entering
into the house.
• This is also the cheaper means of insulation process

13. Rock Wool Batt Insulation
• The wool is meant to restrict the cold temperature.
• The rock wool is the insulation materials which are
designed to double the effect of the insulation.
• This is the fiberglass insulation types. This is also
called as the mineral wool and these are man-made
wool to serve many purpose like soundproof, fire-
resistent, etc…

15. • These are some of the technique employed during
the attic insulation installation process in the hot and
cold climatic region.
• Aesofutah(http://aesofutah.com) is one of the
insulation service provider with energy inspectors to
monitor the energy loss in the house and
recommend the apt design procedure to adopt to it.
