Frequently Asked Questions

 The cost of installing insulation is never the same for everyone. The very first factor that will affect the cost of installing insulation in your space is the type of insulation that you choose to have installed. Another factor is the size of the area or how big the space that has to be insulated. The area size also affects the quote that will be suggested by the insulation contractors that you will hire because it will determine the amount of work that has to be done. 

 There are signs that you can notice inside your home once it needs to be insulated. High electric bills could be your very first concern because this only means that there is a drastic increase in the use of heating and cooling equipment. This only means that your home can produce but not hold the proper heat and cold needed to maintain an ideal temperature inside your house. Moisture build-up and the presence of pests are also telling signs that it’s time to insulate your home. 

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a staple name in the insulation industry and is one of the most preferred types of insulation. This insulation material is a very sticky foam that is sprayed onto different parts of the home such as ceilings, walls, and floors. With the use of equipment, spray foam is an expert in sealing holes and even the smallest spaces to avoid heat from escaping or for pests or insects invading your home. 

 Every insulation type can last for decades, so homeowners don’t have to worry about installing a new one for a very long time. If you are wondering if spray foam insulation is worth your investment, it absolutely is. This insulation type can last for eighty years or more, especially if it is well-maintained. Experts in insulation even state that spray foam insulation, because of its ability to hold its shape for a very long time, can last for the life of your home. 

 Batt insulation is made of fiberglass or mineral wool (also called rock wool). Batt insulation was traditionally manufactured in rolls but is now manufactured and precut into industry-standard sizes. Batt insulation is installed with facing (called kraft-faced batts) or without facing. 

The type of insulation you need will depend on your purpose of insulating or the place where you live. Different parts of the house that have to be insulated, also need a distinct R-value which will also affect your choice of insulation. If achieving higher R-valuein smaller spaces is your goal, spray foam insulation is for you.
