Which Insulation Material Do You Need ?
Home insulation comes in a variety of forms and material options, each suited to different parts of your home. During your free, no-obligation in-home assessment, our insulation installers will recommend from the following:
• Loose Fill Insulation: Consists of small pieces of fibreglass or cellulose insulation material. Loose fill insulation installation, insulation material is blown into an open space, most often an attic, crawlspace or between walls.
• Batt Insulation: Commonly composed of flat pads of fibreglass insulation. Batt insulation installation typically involves fitting the pads between wall studs, floor or ceiling joists, and roof rafters.
• Board Insulation: Made of solid foam. Board insulation installation is best suited as part of basement finishing, especially where insulation is being placed directly over masonry.
• Spray Foam Insulation: Highly efficient and flexible insulation material that can be applied just about anywhere in your home. Spray foam installers in Bolton can help you get the most out of your insulation with minimal use of space.
What Are Some Signs You May Need An Insulation Upgrade?
• Parts of Your Home Are Too Hot/Too Cold
You may find some rooms or areas in your home are too cold in winter and too hot in summer, no matter your thermostat settings.
• Cold Floors, Walls & Ceilings
If you notice your home’s floors, walls, and ceilings are cold to the touch in winter, they may not be sufficiently insulated – and you’re losing heated air to the outside.
• Dampness and Condensation
In a well-insulated home, the walls and ceilings should be warm and dry to the touch. If any of your walls are showing signs of moisture or dampness, it may be a sign of insufficient insulation.
• High Energy Bills
If the cost to heat or cool your home seems unusually expensive, while your home heating and cooling systems are running too long and not delivering the desired comfort, improving your home’s insulation could be the solution.
