Find The Right Insulation For Your Home

Keeping your home warm does not have to be complicated or expensive – you just have to select the right kind of insulation for your residence. Smart Home Improvement offers two types of insulation to match any budget and home. Blown (also known as loose-fill) or reflective insulation.

Blown Insulation

Blown insulation is ideal when there is already an existing layer of insulation in need of additional support. It is applied by blowing loose fibers into the crevices of the attic or the frame of the house. Its main role is to create maximum density with the product to slow down hot or cold air from quickly going through it.

Advantages of blown insulation:

• You can insulate areas that are hard to reach
• It is inexpensive for the amount of R-value (also known as resistant to heat flow) you receive per inch of thickness
• Increases the soundproofing of your home

Is blown insulation right for my home?

Blown insulation is best for areas that are finished with closed walls. The convenient hose is less intrusive than other forms of insulation that require walls to be exposed. Unless you are in the process of a remodelling project, blown insulation is likely the best option for your home.

Reflective Insulation

Smart Home Improvement Can Help

New insulation is one of the smartest home improvements you can make. Not only does it save you hundreds of dollars each year in energy costs, but it can also contribute to higher resale value.

If you are unsure if it is time to look into adding/updating insulation in your home, ask yourself a couple of questions:

• Is there a consistent room temperature during the winter months?
• Is my energy bill high in the summer and winter?
• Am I losing heat to cold drafts in the wintertime?
• Is there moisture in the attic?

If these answers begin to cause concern, it might be time to call in the professionals to assess the best way to insulate your home.
