What is the best type of attic insulation?

Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance, called R-value, which indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. The R-value of thermal insulation depends on the type of material, its thickness, and its density. In calculating the R-value of a multi-layered installation, the R-values of the individual layers are added.

How does insulation keep temperature inside?

The same way a cover or even clothes help you hold in heat. Thermal insulation, which is in many homes and buildings, is believed by many to be the most common type of insulation. The design of thermal insulation is intended to decrease the transfer of heat between the interior of an edifice and the outside. Thermal insulation helps a building to maintain heat throughout the winter season. It also helps the building to remain cool during the summer months. Although, no material can completely hinder the transfer of heat from one area to another, there are; however, many resources that can slow down the transfer process.
