FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
INSULATION
What is the difference between faced and unfaced insulation?
Faced insulation has a vapor barrier attached to it, which helps to prevent moisture from penetrating the insulation material. Unfaced insulation, on the other hand, does not have a vapor barrier and is typically used in areas where moisture is not a concern.
Will insulation installation help reduce my energy costs?
Yes, installing high-quality insulation can help reduce energy costs by improving the energy efficiency of your property. Insulation helps keep your property cool in the summer and warm in the winter, which can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs.
What is R-value?
R-value is a measure of an insulation material's resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power of the material.
Which R-value is best for my home?
The ideal R-value for your home will depend on a variety of factors, including your location, climate, and type of heating and cooling system. Our team of experts can help you determine the appropriate R-value for your home based on these factors.
What is blown insulation?
Blown insulation is a loose-fill insulation material that is blown into attics, walls, and other hard-to-reach areas using special equipment. This type of insulation is ideal for retrofitting older homes or for adding insulation to areas that are difficult to access with traditional batt insulation.
How can insulation help improve indoor air quality?
Insulation can help to reduce the amount of dust, pollen, and other allergens that enter your home through cracks and gaps in the building envelope. Additionally, some insulation materials, such as fiberglass and mineral wool, are naturally resistant to mold and mildew growth, which can help to improve indoor air quality.
