Cellulose vs Spray Foam

Cellulose is a great budget choice for attic floors. Spray foam wins anywhere you need air sealing or moisture control.

R-Value and Coverage

Cellulose: R-3.5/inch, settles ~20% over time. Spray foam: R-3.7–R-7/inch, no settling.

What We Recommend

For a vented attic floor on a budget, blown cellulose with air sealing first. For a conditioned attic or any moisture-prone area, spray foam.
