Increase the Comfort of Your Home: Your home heating and cooling systems are costly to the comfort of your home. They keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Insulation will maximize your equipment’s efficiency, reduce energy consumption and update a vital home system. If your home is properly insulated, it keeps the heat inside during the winter and the heat outside in the summer. A well-insulated home will decrease energy use and increase home comfort and reduce your carbon footprint as an added bonus.
Lower Your Energy Bills: Homeowners who are interested in ways to save energy often add insulation as an investment in lower future energy bills. Heating and cooling a home are generally the largest utility bills paid by homeowners, meaning that any way to lower them is worth doing. Adding insulation is a great way to accomplish this goal in a cost-effective manner.
Improve Air Quality: If your house is cold for long periods of time condensation, damp and mold growth may develop. These can lead to an increased frequency of colds, flu, respiratory infections, allergies and skin conditions requiring sick leave from work or school, increased visits to doctors and increased use of pharmaceutical treatments.
By installing insulation and sealing gaps or holes, you can control air flow and moisture, minimizing pollutants entering your home and circulating your duct system.
Sound Insulation: Noise can be a big problem for many homeowners. A lot of people don’t realize that insulation is extremely effective at reducing noise transmission. If you have small children, dogs that bark or like to play loud music, adding insulation is a great way to enjoy your lifestyle without having to worry about bothering the neighbors. Conversely, if you have neighbors that are keeping you up at night, a little bit of extra insulation may help to quiet the din and let you finally get a full night of sleep. Insulation not only keeps you warm and cozy but it also adds to your peace and quiet.
Retrofit Fiberglass Insulation in Stratmoor can be done by either blowing in loose fill insulation or installing fiberglass batt insulation.
Loose fill insulation in Stratmoor is blown-in with a machine directly into the attic. Blowing in insulation is faster than installing batts and offers better coverage by completely covering the attic floor.
Batt insulation in Stratmoor is fiberglass blanket insulation that comes in rolls or sheets and designed for easy handling. It is used between framings such as studs and joists. Batts are available in a variety of lengths, widths, and R-values.
Retrofit Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) in Stratmoor is a spray-applied plastic that can form a continuous insulation and air-sealing barrier on walls, roofs, around corners, and on all contoured surfaces. SPF insulation is known to resist heat transfer extremely well and offers a highly effective solution for reducing unwanted air infiltration through cracks, seams, and joints.
Retrofit Radiant Barrier Foil in Stratmoor is a layer of metalized film facing an airspace and is installed inside the envelope of a building, usually on the bottom face of the roof rafter or between the rafters against the roof sheathing. Radiant barriers reflect electromagnetic radiant heat energy from the sun and dramatically reduces the amount of heat gain and heat build up in attics, improving the summertime energy efficiency performance of most homes.
