Why Owens Corning?
Home Comfort, Energy Efficiency, Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Proper attic insulation is essential for improving home comfort and energy efficiency. Without adequate home attic insulation, residences can lose heat in the winter and gain excess warmth in the summer, which can result in inconsistent temperatures and higher energy bills. For many homes, an uninsulated or poorly insulated attic can be one of the biggest sources of energy loss.
Owens Corning offers a variety of residential attic insulation products, including fiberglass batts, blown-in insulation, and spray foam solutions. These insulation products are available in a range of R-values to meet various climate zone requirements and support optimal energy efficiency.
Spray Foam: Pros & Cons

Spray Foam Pros
Spray foam insulation offers several advantages over traditional blown-in insulation, particularly in the hot, humid climate of Northwest Houston.
Unlike blown-in fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam expands to fill gaps, cracks, and penetrations throughout the attic and wall cavities, creating an effective air barrier that significantly reduces energy loss.
This airtight seal helps prevent conditioned air from escaping and blocks hot, humid outdoor air from entering the home, resulting in lower utility bills and improved indoor comfort year-round. Spray foam also helps reduce moisture infiltration, which can minimize the risk of mold growth and condensation issues commonly associated with Gulf Coast humidity.
Additionally, spray foam does not settle over time like some blown-in insulation products, allowing it to maintain its insulating performance for decades. Homeowners often notice more consistent indoor temperatures, reduced strain on HVAC systems, improved indoor air quality, and greater overall energy efficiency when choosing spray foam insulation for their homes.

The most significant drawback is the higher upfront cost, as spray foam installation can be substantially more expensive than blown-in fiberglass.
Installation also requires specialized equipment and trained professionals, making repairs or modifications more complex if electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work is needed in the future.
In some cases, an improperly installed spray foam system can trap moisture within the roof, potentially leading to wood rot or other structural concerns. Because spray foam creates a very tight building envelope, homes may require additional mechanical ventilation to maintain optimal indoor air quality.
Additionally, once spray foam is applied, it can be difficult and labor-intensive to remove, making future renovations more challenging. While the long-term energy savings can offset the initial investment, homeowners should carefully weigh the higher installation costs and reduced accessibility against the performance benefits.
