Insulation Basics
Why do we need insulation?
Insulation in buildings is mainly used for thermal purposes. Thermal insulation is used to slow the transfer of heat from inside the building to outside the building or vice versa. Insulation is important in the winters to keep heat inside and used in the summers to keep heat outside. Heat transfer in buildings can occur through three different methods: conduction, convection, or radiation. Pretty much every internal building surface that also faces the external environment is a major source of heat transfer. This includes doors, windows, walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs.
Does insulation save you money?
Unwanted heat transfer is not only unpleasant at extreme temperatures but also leads to high HVAC costs. In the winter, heat loss leads to high electricity or gas bills from running a heater 24/7. In the summer, too much heat entering the home also leads to high electricity bills due to the need to constantly run an A/C unit or fan. Installing high quality insulation in your home or building will reduce your energy expenditures and save you a lot of money in the long run.
Does it matter which insulation material we use?
The material that you choose for your insulation needs is also very important. The best material to use in your home depends on your unique situation. What is your reason for installing insulation? Do you care more about thermal insulation, meaning you want to prevent your home from heating up too much in the summer and losing heat in the winter? Or are you looking for soundproof insulation to reduce noise from a nearby freeway or busy street? It is important to ask yourself these questions before making a decision on an insulation material. Selection of insulation material is also dependent on the region of your home that you wish to insulate. For example, some materials are best suited for use in floors and ceilings while others are best suited for use in HVAC ducts. Feel free to ask us which materials are most commonly used for your specific insulation purpose. We are happy to offer suggestions to help you decide.
Which materials are best for thermal insulation?
The best materials for thermal insulation are those that slow heat loss. Some commonly used materials for this include: polystyrene, polyurethane foam, cellulose, fiberglass, and mineral wool. These are just a few examples. Check out our Insulation Materials page for more information on common insulation materials.
Which materials are best for sound insulation?
The best materials for sound insulation are those that absorb sound well. Some commonly used materials for this include: spray foam, foam boards, blown-in cellulose, and fiberglass. These are just a few examples. Check out our Insulation Materials page for more information on common insulation materials.
Which parts of a home or other building are typically insulated?
We regularly perform the following types of insulation: attic insulation, roof insulation, pipe or HVAC duct insulation, wall insulation. ceiling insulation, floor insulation, crawl space insulation, and garage insulation. We do both home insulation and commercial insulation.
Why hire an insulation contractor?
While you are always free to do your research and learn how to insulate your home yourself, it takes time to become skilled at anything. When you want your floors redone, you hire a flooring contractor to handle the project. When things break down in your home, you call a handyman to complete the job. When it comes to your home, it is risky to take chances. Unexpected difficulties can lead to delays and leave you without a functioning space in your home for long periods of time. It's always a smoother process when you hire an experienced professional to get the job done. Our contractors have decades of insulation experience. We are not strangers to encountering obstacles on the job. We will complete your insulation project quickly and efficiently.
