Overview & Cost Implications

R-30 attic insulation significantly reduces heat gain and loss through the roof plane. The US Department of Energy recommends R-38 to R-60 for attics in cold climates, so R-30 is often installed as a base layer with additional blown-in on top.

Standard Formula Used

For estimating materials quantity and weight on job sites, estimators use this mathematical model:

Rolls = Attic Area (sq ft) / 44 × 1.05 (waste)
