Properly installed insulation is extremely valuable in a home, especially in a climate that experiences big changes in weather. Home insulation keeps the desired temperature in your house all year round, protecting it against excessive heat in summer and the cold in winter.
Energy costs reduction
A well-insulated house will need very little additional heating and cooling and is very energy efficient. If your home lacks basic insulation and has old doors that let in plenty of hot and cold air, home inspectors working with potential buyers will include this in their reports. Older homes that haven’t had new insulation installed can cost more to live in and maintain.
- Prevents moisture and mold
Because the installation of certain insulation doesn’t require drying or curing, it reduces the possibility of moisture and mold.
- Enhances process R-Value performance
Maximize your R-value per dollar. Given the fact that all insulators are equal when adequately installed and air sealed, the goal is to maximize the R-value you achieve for the dollar you spend. The goal is to get the most R-value for your budget in your chosen insulation material.
- Reduces emissions of pollutants
When mineral wool insulation and fiberglass insulation are put together with standard air sealing practices, air infiltration is effectively reduced to near zero. Source: NAHB (National Association of Home Builders)
- Reduces noise levels
Not every type of insulation reduces noise, so select wisely. Cellulose, foam, and fiberglass insulation are great choices if you want soundproofing insulation. This insulation reducesinside and outside noise, room to room noises, and between interior rooms, between ceilings and floors, and from outside sources.
- Health Impacts
Fiberglass insulation and mineral wool thermal and acoustic insulations are not considered classifiable as carcinogens, according to The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the US National Toxicology Program (NTP).
- UV Stability
Research UV stability. Fiberglass insulation and mineral wool insulation are UV stable, meaning they do not experience shrinkage or thermal performance loss with exposure to ultraviolet rays. UV exposure to spray foam insulation may compromise its performance.
- Fire Protection
Fiberglass insulation and mineral wool insulation are naturally non-combustible. Other types of insulation can ignite and require a consumer product warning regarding fire hazards.
Types of Insulation
The most commonly used insulation materials are foam, fiberglass, and cellulose.The different types of insulation include loose-fill, batts, rolls, foam board, spray board, and vapor barriers.
