A Breakdown of the Most Common Types of Insulation

The most common types of insulation include:

1.  Blanket Insulation: Typically comes in batts or rolls and is very common.

2.  Concrete Block Insulation: This involves filling concrete blocks with insulating materials to increase home insulation.

3.  Foam Board or Rigid Foam Insulation: Typically made of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, and polyurethane.

4.  Sprayed Foam and Foam-In-Place Insulation: A liquid foam that can be sprayed, foamed-in-place, injected or poured. This potentially can yield higher R-value than other types of insulation if properly installed.
