On the Power Hour

Common Questions

Check out your current insulation. What do you see?
- Batts: If you have light-weight yellow, pink or white stuff that looks like sheets of cotton candy, you probably have fiberglass insulation. Measure its depth and multiply by 3.2 to get your total R-value.
- Granules: If your insulation looks like small rock shavings, you probably have vermiculite or perlite insulation. Measure its depth and multiply by 2.7 to get your total R-value. Also, make sure to have your insulation tested for asbestos, which may require professional abatement.
- Paper fibers: If you have small gray pieces or fibers that look like newsprint, you probably have cellulose insulation. Measure its depth and multiply by 3.7 to get your total R-value.
- Dense fibers: If your insulation is dense gray or near-white, you probably have rock wool insulation. Rock wool might have black specks, too. Measure its depth and multiply by 2.8 to get your total R-value.
- Loose fibers: If you see light-weight yellow, pink or white fibers, you probably have loose fiberglass insulation. Measure its depth and multiply by 2.5 to get your total R-value.
