        "text": "Several insulation types are suitable for home upgrades, each with distinct properties. Fiberglass, available as batts, rolls, or loose-fill, is a common and affordable option. Cellulose, made from recycled paper, is another popular loose-fill choice, often blown into attics and walls. Spray foam, either open-cell or closed-cell, provides an excellent air seal and high R-value but is typically more expensive. Rigid foam boards are used in specific areas like exterior walls or basements. The best type depends on the specific application and desired R-value.",
