When you live along Florida’s Space Coast, your home faces intense heat, high humidity, and frequent heavy rains—especially during hurricane season. These harsh conditions demand more than just standard insulation. You need a system that can handle both extreme temperatures and moisture exposure while keeping your energy bills low and your indoor environment comfortable.

At Koala Insulation of the Space Coast, we specialize in helping Florida homeowners choose insulation that’s built to withstand our unique climate. In this blog, we’ll cover the best types of insulation for extreme heat and wet weather, the benefits of each, and how to decide what’s right for your home.


Why Florida’s Climate Requires Specialized Insulation

While all homes benefit from insulation, Florida presents some unique challenges:

In this environment, choosing the right insulation isn’t optional—it’s essential. That’s where Koala Insulation of the Space Coast comes in. We assess your home and recommend high-performance insulation that fights heat and resists moisture for long-term comfort and durability.


1. Spray Foam Insulation: A Top Performer in Florida

Spray foam insulation is often considered the gold standard for homes in coastal climates. It expands upon application, sealing cracks and gaps while creating a tight thermal envelope.

Why It Works:

Koala Insulation of the Space Coast recommends closed-cell spray foam for attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities—especially in homes that need serious protection against the elements.


2. Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation: Affordable and Efficient

Blown-in fiberglass is a popular choice for attics and retrofits. It consists of tiny glass fibers that are blown into place using specialized equipment, allowing for complete coverage of even irregular spaces.

Why It Works:

If your home needs a performance upgrade without a major renovation, Koala Insulation of the Space Coast can install blown-in fiberglass quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption.


3. Radiant Barrier Insulation: Reflecting the Florida Sun

A radiant barrier is a reflective material, typically aluminum foil, installed in attics to reflect radiant heat away from the living space. It works best when paired with another insulation type such as blown-in fiberglass or spray foam.

Why It Works:

At Koala Insulation of the Space Coast, we often install radiant barriers alongside other attic insulation to deliver powerful, multi-layered heat protection.


4. Rigid Foam Board Insulation: Durable and Moisture-Resistant

Rigid foam boards are made from polystyrene or polyisocyanurate and are used in walls, roofs, and foundations. These panels offer high insulation value and stand up well to moisture.

Why It Works:

We recommend rigid foam insulation for homes needing strong thermal protection in exterior walls or high-moisture zones.


5. Insulated Attic Encapsulation: Full-System Defense

For homes facing serious heat and humidity challenges, an attic encapsulation might be the solution. This involves insulating the entire attic envelope, sealing air leaks, and potentially adding a dehumidifier.

Why It Works:

Koala Insulation of the Space Coast offers full attic encapsulation services to transform your attic from a hotbox into a key part of your home’s comfort system.
