Insulation

Stay Warm & Keep Cool

High insulation levels are a standard part of new construction work. Many existing homes, however, do not have adequate air sealing or insulation, and could be more comfortable and energy efficient than they are now. Common signs of poor insulation include:

• Ice dams, icicles, and roof ‘hot spots’
• Drafty walls and cold floors
• Furnace runs constantly in the winter
• Air conditioning runs all summer long

The Benefits of High-Performance Insulation

There are several factors that can affect the performance of different insulation materials. R-value, the measure of thermal resistance, is a way of labelling the effectiveness of insulation.

High-performance insulation products have higher R-value per inch, but they can also block air movement, and in some cases act as an air barrier and a vapor barrier. There are three main benefits for home insulation:

• Comfort and health

• Energy reduction

• Moisture control
