Insulation levels are specified by R-Value. R-Value is a measure of insulation's ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. The recommended level for most attics is to insulate to R-38, 10 to 14 inches, up to R-60, 20 to 24 inches, depending on insulation type.

Attic insulation prevents the heat in your attic, which can rise in the summertime Texas heat to more than 160 to 180 degrees, from reaching the wooden joists running across your ceilings and the studs in the walls. Wood is a conductor of heat and any exposed wood will carry this heat onto your ceiling and down inside your walls. The infrared image below was taken with a thermal camera and shows how much heat is being transferred into this room via the ceiling joists. The wooden joists are heating up this ceiling just like the heating coil in an oven. Not covering these joists up is like leaving your oven on all summer long with the door open.
