Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What insulation materials are supported?

The calculator supports four common insulation types: fiberglass batts (R-3.7 per inch), cellulose loose-fill (R-3.8 per inch), spray foam (R-6.5 per inch), and mineral wool (R-4.0 per inch). Each has different R-values and cost per square foot.

How accurate are the cost estimates?

Cost estimates are based on current market averages for materials only (installation labor not included). Fiberglass: $0.50/sq ft, Cellulose: $0.65/sq ft, Spray Foam: $1.20/sq ft, Mineral Wool: $0.85/sq ft. Actual prices may vary by region.

What climate zones are available?

Five standard climate zones: Zone 1 (Hot), Zone 2 (Warm), Zone 3 (Mixed), Zone 4 (Cool), Zone 5 (Cold). Each zone has recommended R-values for walls (R-13 to R-30) and ceilings (R-30 to R-60) based on energy efficiency standards.

Does this include installation costs?

No, this calculator provides material costs only. Installation labor typically adds 50-100% to the total cost depending on the insulation type and project complexity.
