Questions to Ask Yourself Regarding Your Home’s Insulation:
Insulation Types
Roll Insulation
This type of product is made from mineral fibers, such as fiberglass and rock wool. It’s typically offered in widths for standard spacings, such as 2×4 (wall studs) and 2×6 (wall studs). The average R-value wall studs and attic or floor joists can hold is between R-13 to R-21 products.

Blown-in Insulation (Cellulose)
Blown-in insulation is a combination of fiberglass, rockwool, or cellulose (lower quality mixture). They come in two different forms either loose fibers or fiber pellets. Our insulation team uses a pneumatic equipment thats only used for these products. The material can easily form into the cavities and attics. This type of product is ideal for difficult to reach places as attics, existing walls, and new development.

Rigid Foam Insulation
Foam insulation is more expensive than the common fiber barriers. However, it’s cost is because of it’s quality and effectiveness. Rigid foam is an excellent choice for areas with space limitations and where higher R-value is necessary. We install rigid foam board often around ceiling light fixtures, attic doors, attic furnishings (ductwork, furnaces). The R-value is predetermined by each inch of rigid foam that is used. Heavily recommend in the midwest.
