Do you also need any advice on the types of insulation and kind of insulation material that may suit your apartment? Well, we got you covered.

Here are some of the attic insulations that we install;

Blown-in insulation.

Blown-in insulation is also known as loose-fill insulation. It is a process of filling stud or joist cavities as well as covering attic floors, with loose material that has excellent insulating R-value. Of course, there are a variety of materials that can be used. Here are the types of blown-in insulation that you may use;

Blown-in fiberglass insulation.

By now, you already know that insulating your home is a great way to reduce heating and cooling energy expenses. Also, you can maintain a comfortable living temperature. One way to make this a success is to do so with blown-in fiberglass insulation.

To install blown-in fiberglass insulation in an attic, we will come in with a crew of two professionals. We will use specialized pneumatic equipment. Strands of fiberglass will be blown around the spaces in the attic through a hose.

The insulation material will then settle into the attic’s cavities, and areas that are hard to reach, such as ceiling joists until a thick layer of insulation covers the space completely. This will substantially prevent heat loss.

If you have existing insulation that might have left behind gaps or joists that were irregularly spaced or the ground had various obstructions, then we will highly recommend blown-in fiberglass. 

Blown-in cellulose.

Styrofoam pellets made from old newspapers, cardboard, and other wood-based materials. They are then treated with boric acid and flame resistant and mold-resistant substances. The content is then packaged in tightly packed bales or bags.

When it comes to installation, we use a mechanical blower that churns up the cellulose material with paddles to make it lose. It also mixes it with air then blows the fluffy insulation through hoses to various parts of the attic. Although these machines are expensive, we have it available when the need arises.

On the flip side, cellulose retains water and absorbs moisture. Therefore it can be a breeding ground mold or rotting. So, this option should be accompanied by a vapor barrier.

Fiberglass insulation

Fiberglass is a human-made material designed through pulling strands of glass into thin fibers. They are used to fortify plastic filaments. This material is a handy form of insulation because the glass reduces the heat flow, cold, and even noise through an area.

Spray Foam insulation.

This method comes in two varieties, which include open-cell and closed-cell. We recommend closed-cell because it is very useful in insulation (R-Value) than open-cell. Spray foam after being applied, it spreads and expands faster, thus locking air in a vault-like seal.

What attracts customers for this form of insulation is because it is easily set, and it is durable. Insulation materials have to be replaced after ten years. This is why we recommend spray foam to our beloved clients since it can last for the same amount of time.

Rigid Foam Insulation.

This type is also called insulating boards. They possess a higher R-value than many other insulations. They enhance comfort through temperature regulation hence no need for overworking the AC.

They contain rigid foams panels of 4 by 8 foot which vary in thickness. When touched with water, they can’t change sizes or crack because they are made of high quality and environmentally friendly materials.

Batt insulation.

These pre-cut fiber glasses, also known as rock wool insulation. It comes in flat pieces. Its choice majorly depends on the climate of the area it needs to be set up. There are two types of batts. Those that come with paper or foil facing and those without. We recommend those with foil facing because they can be placed near the living area.

Mineral wool insulation.

They are highly versatile products with high thermal properties. So, they save energy. Mineral wool is made of molten glass, slag, or stone. Therefore they come in either glass wool insulation or stone wool insulation. Both of them prevent heat loss, movement of air, noise pollution, and risk of fire.
