Types of Insulation:
We offer a variety of insulation types to suit your specific needs and budget:
1. Fiberglass Insulation:
- Description: A staple in the insulation industry, fiberglass is known for its affordability, ease of installation, and excellent thermal resistance. Available in batts, rolls, and loose-fill options.
- Benefits: Cost-effective, readily available, good thermal performance, versatile.
- Applications: Attics, walls, floors, crawl spaces.
- R-Value: Varies depending on thickness and type; typically ranging from R-13 to R-49.
2. Cellulose Insulation:
- Description: Made from recycled paper and treated with borates for fire resistance, cellulose insulation is a loose-fill material blown into cavities.
- Benefits: Excellent thermal performance, environmentally friendly, air sealing properties, good sound dampening.
- Applications: Attics, walls, floors.
- R-Value: Highly variable based on density; typically R-3.1 to R-3.8 per inch.
3. Mineral Wool Insulation (Rock Wool & Slag Wool):
- Description: Made from molten rock or slag, mineral wool is a durable, fire-resistant, and sound-absorbing insulation. Available in batts, rolls, and rigid boards.
- Benefits: High fire resistance, excellent sound insulation, moisture-resistant, durable.
- Applications: Attics, walls, floors, pipes, industrial applications.
- R-Value: Varies depending on thickness and type; generally similar to fiberglass.
4. Spray Foam Insulation:
- Description: A two-part liquid that expands and hardens into a seamless, airtight seal. Available in open-cell and closed-cell formulations.
- Benefits: Superior air sealing, excellent thermal performance, moisture barrier, reduces drafts and noise.
- Applications: Attics, walls, crawl spaces, roofs, foundation.
- R-Value: Varies greatly depending on density and type; closed-cell generally higher than open-cell.
5. Rigid Foam Insulation (Polyurethane, Polyisocyanurate, Extruded Polystyrene):
- Description: Offered in boards or panels, rigid foam provides exceptional thermal performance and structural support.
- Benefits: High R-value per inch, strong and durable, excellent moisture resistance.
- Applications: Roofs, walls, foundations, exterior sheathing.
- R-Value: High R-value per inch; varies depending on thickness and type.
Choosing the Right Insulation:
Selecting the appropriate insulation depends on several factors including:
- Climate: Colder climates require higher R-value insulation.
- Building type: Different building structures may benefit from different insulation types.
- Budget: Some insulation materials are more expensive than others.
- Installation: Some insulation types are easier to install than others.
