Fiberglass

* Approved R-factor per inch thickness

* Effectiveness dependent on correct installation

* Uses entrapped air as barrier to heat transfer

* Least cost and return on investment

Cellulose

* Higher R-factor per inch thickness than fiberglass

* Blocks air infiltration

* Best sound proofing

* Medium up-front investment yields energy savings return

Polyurethane Foam

* Highest R-factor per inch thickness (double fiberglass)

* Resists moisture and insects

* Seals cracks and adds structural integrity

* Largest up-front investment yields largest near and long-term energy savings return
