Insulation Overview

Why Insulation is a Great Investment

Having proper insulation is critical to the energy efficiency of your home. Adding or upgrading the insulation in your home can save you enormous amounts of money on energy costs each year. The cost to install new installation is typically returned within just a few months, and is one of the best investments a homeowner can make. Insulation continues to pay for itself each and every season.

Many of our valued clients ask about the specific differences between the various insulation materials. Below is a brief summary of each option.

Insulation Materials

Spray Foam:

This type of insulation is by far the most efficient. Foam insulation contains a very high R-value of 7.0+ per sq. inch. Spray foam insulation has organic based components which make it environmentally friendly and spray foam produces zero negative off gasses.

Cellulose:

Cellulose insulation is composed of bits of recycled newspaper shredded, and then blown in a cavity to insulate the area. Cellulose insulation is very efficient, and extremely Eco-friendly. Its R-value of 3.2 per inch installed, is higher than that of fiberglass. The most common applications for cellulose insulation are attic spaces, and walls. Cellulose insulation works as a thermal and sound barrier, is fire retardant, and moisture resistant. For a free estimate click on the contact page and fill in your project details.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass insulation is the most common insulating material found in homes today. Fiberglass insulation is comparable in price to cellulose but even more economical to install. Blown fiberglass can be applied to attic spaces, walls, and crawl spaces. Fiberglass insulation can also be used as a sound barrier, and is fire and moisture resistant. Fiberglass insulation also contains recycled components which make it a “green” product. Click here to be directed to our contact page for a free estimate for blown in fiberglass insulation.

Polystyrene:

Also commonly referred to as “rigid” or “foam board” insulation. This type of insulation, like spray foam is extremely efficient. It can be used in a variety of spaces due to its small footprint. The benefits gained from installing rigid foam board (polystyrene) in specific applications can be extreme, providing you with substantial energy savings.
