Batt vs. Blown-In Insulation: What’s Best for Your Charlotte Attic?

If you’re looking to make your Charlotte home more energy-efficient, attic insulation is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. At iFOAM Charlotte, homeowners often ask:

👉 “Should I choose batt insulation or blown-in insulation for my attic?”

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:

Batt Insulation

Batt insulation comes in pre-cut fiberglass or mineral wool panels.

✔ Pros:

• Lower upfront cost

• Easy installation in open attics with standard joists

• Budget-friendly for new builds

❌ Cons:

• Can leave gaps that let air leak

• Hard to install in attics with wiring, ductwork, or irregular framing

Blown-In Insulation

Blown-in (loose-fill) insulation is installed with a machine that spreads fiberglass or cellulose evenly across the attic.

✔ Pros:

• Fills gaps and hard-to-reach areas

• Higher R-values for better energy savings

• Excellent for retrofits and irregular attics

❌ Cons:

• Requires professional installation

• Some materials may settle over time

Which Is Best for Your Charlotte Home?

• ✅ Choose batt insulation if your attic is open and you’re working with a tighter budget.

• ✅ Choose blown-in insulation if your attic is irregularly shaped, has existing insulation, or you want maximum comfort and efficiency.
