Insulation for Cold Weather
Insulation for Cold Weather
When it comes to Insulation Contractor your home comfortable and cost-efficient in the winter, proper insulation is essential. A well-insulated home can lower heating costs and reduce energy usage while also preventing moisture problems like ice dams and mold. Insulation also prevents air leakage and creates a tighter seal that can increase the longevity of your home’s structures.
There are many different insulation materials available, ranging from bulky fiberglass and rock wool to rigid foam boards, cellulose, spray foam, and even radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems. These materials all work by resisting conductive heat flow in a building cavity, but each has its own unique benefits and ideal applications.
Fiberglass batt insulation is the most common and affordable option. It is made from molten glass spun or blown into fibers that trap air and slow heat transfer. It is also easy to install, and it is available in a variety of R-values. It is best for walls, floors, and ceilings in areas that are not exposed to moisture.
Blown-in or loose-fill insulation is a great choice for attics and other hard to reach spaces in new construction or retrofit projects. It can be made from cellulose, fiberglass, or mineral (rock or slag) wool and is typically blow-in or sprayed in place by experienced installers. It can also be poured, using polystyrene beads, vermiculite, and perlite. Loose-fill insulation offers the most flexibility when it comes to application and can be shaped around obstructions in wall cavities.
