Whether you want to save money on heating and air conditioning costs or use less non-renewable energy, you should look into home insulation.
These days, a good source of insulation is required for any home or office since people are constantly looking for new ways to reduce their dependency on non-renewable energy and other resources, so home insulation becomes one of the easiest ways to incorporate green living into their lifestyles.
What to Consider When Choosing Home Insulation
One of the first things you will need to determine is what type of insulation is right for your home.
There are a few factors you should consider as you choose your home insulation including the air infiltration, environmental benefits, fire safety, moisture, performance over its lifetime and thermal performance.
All these factors will be important as you consider the overall effectiveness of the insulation as well as where it will be installed.
You can choose batt or rolls insulation comprised of cotton or denim, fibreglass or rock and slab. Blown in or loose filled insulation may use cellulose, fibreglass, polyurethane foam and rock wool. Other kinds of home insulation include reflective, rigid and spray applied.
Natural Insulation installers will identify where each kind is typically used in the home in order to help you decide the type of home insulation that best fits your needs.
Insulation Areas around the Home
Where you install your insulation is just as important as what type you use. The attic and walls are two very important areas in home insulation.
Equally important is the need to find insulation for other areas including ceilings that do not have heated spaces. These areas may include basement walls, in between interior walls in areas such as bathrooms, floors above vented crawl spaces and unheated garage and porch floors.
