There are 4 types of attic insulation to consider:

Fiberglass batt insulation is made from tiny glass fibers and available in rolls or loose-fill form. It has good thermal performance and can be blown or sprayed into attics. It can be installed by homeowners, but the fiberglass may irritate skin and eyes during installation, so proper protective gear is recommended. Additionally, fiberglass doesn’t mix well with moisture and can degrade over time if it gets wet.

Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper and plant-based materials and treated with fire retardants. It is a more expensive option than fiberglass but has superior R-value and fills gaps and cracks more effectively. It can also be installed by DIYers but requires careful handling because it contains harmful substances that can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
