Types of Attic Insulation We Install in Palm City, FL
Your attic might be hiding one of the biggest sources of wasted energy in your home. At Air One Attic Insulation, we don’t just install insulation. We design customized systems built to tackle Florida’s extreme heat, high humidity, and rising utility costs. Below are the types of insulation and solutions we provide, each carefully selected for performance, durability, and long-term peace of mind.
In many homes across Palm City and surrounding areas, the attic is one of the most neglected spaces when it comes to energy efficiency. It’s often under-insulated, outdated, or filled with materials that were never intended to withstand our climate. That means cool air escapes, heat creeps in, and your air conditioning system struggles to keep up. Over time, this leads to higher bills and reduced comfort.
We believe insulation should do more than meet code. It should protect your home from moisture, resist pests, improve air quality, and help your HVAC system operate efficiently. Whether you’re upgrading your current insulation or building new, we’ll match you with the right solution to keep your home cooler, cleaner, and more cost effective from the top down.
Our goal is not just to install insulation but to transform your attic into a key asset for your home’s efficiency and comfort. From material selection to expert installation, we focus on real world results that deliver savings, peace of mind, and year round indoor comfort for families throughout Palm City and beyond.
If your attic feels hot to the touch or your AC seems to run nonstop, those are signs your insulation is no longer doing its job. We take the time to evaluate your attic’s layout, sun exposure, and airflow patterns so we can design a system that works with your home rather than against it. Every recommendation we make is rooted in experience and tailored to the unique needs of Florida homeowners.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam is a premium solution for sealing your attic airtight. It expands and hardens on contact, filling every crack, crevice, and corner , delivering both insulation and air sealing in one step.
- How it helps you: It stops air leaks, reduces temperature fluctuations, and cuts your cooling load by preventing hot air infiltration.
- Open‑Cell vs Closed‑Cell: Open‑cell is softer, great for sound absorption and interior walls. Closed‑cell is dense and water resistant — ideal for roofs, rim joists, and humid areas.
- Why it matters in Florida: The sealed envelope helps block both heat and humidity, which are major energy and comfort enemies in tropical climates.
- Long term value: Spray foam rarely sags or settles over time. It stays effective for decades when installed by pros.
Blown‑In
Cellulose Insulation
If you want performance and environmental friendliness without the price tag of high‑end foam, blown‑in cellulose is a strong choice.
- Made from recycled paper treated for fire and pests, it’s effective, biodegradable, and sustainable.
- It’s ideal for retrofits or attics with odd framing — the blown material fills gaps that batts can’t reach.
- It offers noise reduction and solid thermal protection.
Because it’s breathable, it works well when combined with proper ventilation, helping avoid moisture issues in Florida’s humid environment.
Over time, it helps reduce wear on your HVAC system and contributes to a quieter, healthier indoor environment.
Barriers:
Block Heat, Lower Bills
While traditional insulation resists conductive heat, a radiant barrier actually reflects heat away from your home. We install radiant foil under the roof decking to reduce attic temperatures.
- In hot climates like ours, a radiant barrier can reduce attic temps by 20–30 degrees, lessening the heat load your AC must fight.
- It multiplies the effectiveness of your main insulation — think cooler attic + better insulation = more savings.
It’s thin, lightweight, and compatible with most insulation types you already have, making it an easy upgrade that delivers powerful results without major disruption.
It works silently in the background, helping your entire home stay cooler, more comfortable, and energy efficient all year long.
Pest‑Resistant Insulation
In Florida, critters like rats, insects, and termites love nesting in insulation. That’s why we offer pest‑resistant options:
- We use materials treated with borate and other non‑toxic additives that deter chewing, nesting, and damage.
- You still get the thermal benefits, but with extra protection against one of the biggest threats to insulation performance in humid regions.
- It’s especially helpful in rim joists, crawl spaces, and attics where pests commonly enter.
Eco‑Friendly Insulation Choices
More homeowners in Palm City are thinking beyond energy savings and asking what their insulation is made of. If you care about sustainability, indoor air quality, and minimizing your environmental impact, we offer a range of green insulation options designed to align with your values.
- Recycled cellulose: Made from paper waste, it recycles materials while delivering solid thermal performance.
- Low‑VOC spray foams: Advanced formulations with reduced offgassing — perfect for sensitive users or tight sample spaces.
- Mineral wool / rock wool alternatives: Made from volcanic rock, inherently fire resistant and moisture tolerant.
Choosing eco options doesn’t mean compromising performance, many of these materials meet or exceed traditional insulations when installed correctly.
Choosing the Best Insulation for Your Comfort and Savings
No two attics are the same. We consider several factors:
Current insulation and attic layout
Air leakage paths and penetrations
Roof design, ventilation, and moisture control
Your budget, efficiency goals, and comfort needs
We never force a single “best” product, instead we design a hybrid system if needed (foam + radiant barrier, cellulose + air sealing) so your home gets the best mix for long term performance.
Real Pain, Real Gains
If your upstairs feels like an oven, your electric bill spikes in summer, or your HVAC cycles non-stop, the attic is likely the culprit. Many Palm City homes are under‑insulated, stonewalled against humidity, and robbed by airflow leaks.
The right insulation solves those problems:
Lower cooling bills
More stable indoor temperatures
Less strain on your AC, fewer breakdowns
Reduced indoor humidity, mold, and musty smells
Protection against critters and degradation

In many cases yes, if the existing insulation is clean, dry, and free of mold or pest
It helps but works best when paired with a good insulating material beneath.
Yes. In Florida, untreated insulation often gets damaged by pests, treatment protects your investment.
Sometimes slightly, but rebates, energy savings, and health benefits often offset the difference.
