Cold climate attic performance.

01

Code-required in zones 6–8

IECC 2021 requires R-49 in climate zones 6 through 8 — Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, northern New England, and the mountain West. On cold-climate projects, using anything less than R-49 puts you below code and fails blower-door testing.

02

Substantial energy savings over R-38

In zone 6+ climates, heating accounts for a large portion of annual energy bills. R-49 reduces attic conductive loss by approximately 22% compared to R-38 — with a payback measured in a few heating seasons.

03

Two-layer strategy for retrofit

Most existing attics can't accommodate a single R-49 batt without modifications. Standard practice: lay R-30 batts in the joist bays, then run R-19 or R-21 batts perpendicular on top for a total of R-49 to R-51. We stock all the components.

Common questions.

What states require R-49 attic insulation?

Climate zones 6–8 include Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, parts of New York, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and high-elevation areas of Colorado and Utah. Check your local energy code or call us with your zip code.

Is R-49 available in batt form, or do I need blown-in?

R-49 is available in batt form. Because of the thickness (14"–16"), you'll typically need to cross-layer two batts (e.g., R-30 + R-19) to achieve R-49. We stock all the R-values needed for this approach.

Can I use R-60 instead of R-49?

Yes. R-60 provides even better performance and is the Energy Star spec for zones 6–8. We can quote R-60 as well — just ask when you call.

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum. Order any quantity. Volume pricing available on large orders — just ask.
