INSULATION
Where to Insulate

What is Insulation?
Insulation acts as a barrier to heat loss and heat gain, particularly in roofs and ceilings, walls and floors. In many homes insulation is the most practical and cost-effective way to make a house more energy efficient, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter and saving up to 80% in heating and cooling losses.
Batt Insulation!
You can save money by making your home more energy efficient. One way to accomplish this eco-friendly task is to increase the level of insulation inside your house. Batt is one of the most common products used to insulate walls, ceilings and attics as well as basements and crawl spaces.
Advantages of Batt Insulation:
Batt insulation is easy to install and requires zero specialized tools to get the job done. It also offers a little better thermal resistance than its counterpart.
Fire resistant, and won’t settle over time. Good for retrofitting an attic if there isn’t a lot of obstructions; just lay it on top of the existing insulation, and take care not to leave gaps or skimp out around the eaves. Fiberglass is inexpensive (compared to cotton batts, spray-foam or rigid insulation), and is comparable to cellulose in terms of R-value.

Blown In!
Advantages of Blown in Insulation:
• Energy Efficiency
Blown in insulation is much more airtight than standard insulation that comes in the form of rolled batting. The blown material is smaller and able to get into tiny cracks and crevices of your attic, where air typically leaks through. Its ability to seal tightly makes it a much better and more energy-efficient solution than rolled batting. It is also moisture resistant, so it prevents mold, odor, and rot from creeping into your home.
• Cost
Blown in insulation can be more costly than lower quality alternatives, but it can create substantial savings in your energy bills.
• Noise
Due to its airtight seal, this type of insulation is better able to prevent noise from traveling through walls.
• Easy Installation
Installing blown in insulation is a very quick and easy procedure.
• Fire Resistance
Its fire retardant capabilities are due to the tight sealing that prevents air from flowing through small spaces and fueling the flame.
