It’s a fact: Most homes don’t have enough insulation. Many older homes have no insulation at all in critical wall and ceiling areas.Even in newer homes, the minimum insulation levels required by building codes don’t come close to protecting your living space from outdoor temperature extremes.
Why Do I Need Insulation?
1. When a home is built, outer walls are made of 16" studs, and thin siding that separate the inside from the outside.
Insulation is used to fill the empty space between studs in your walls, ceilings, and floors. It surrounds the living area of your home forming a barrier between the living area and outdoor temperature extremes.
If it was -20 Outside would you rather have:
This
OR
THIS
Between your family and the freezing cold?
2. Consider this. On a cold winter night, would you rather have a thick, puffy down-filled blanket or a single thin cotton sheet on your bed to keep you warm? Think of insulation as the blanket for your home.
3. Next to proper air sealing, insulation is arguably the most important feature that contributes to your comfort and your home’s overall energy efficiency. Without proper insulation, your home needs larger, more expensive heating and cooling devices to keep you comfortable, and those devices need to work harder, consuming more electricity, gas, or oil and costing you money.
What Types Of Insulation Are There?
Fiberglass
Fiberglass Batts are typically used in new construction and in areas that are easily accessible, such as an attic.
Blown-in Cellulose
Blown-in Cellulose (recycled/treated paper) is ideal for closed wall cavities and atop existing attic insulation.
Foam Panels
Foam Panels are ideal as exterior building sheathing and within the band joists of your basement.
Spray Foam
Spray or Injected Foam is the best and most efficient type of insulation. Its ideal for all areas of the home and especially to fill around plumbing and electrical penetrations, and band joists. Spray Foam is doubly effective as an air-sealer in these applications.
