It can be hard for homeowners to invest in areas of their home that they don't regularly use. So, should you insulate your attic? The short answer is yes and here's why. You may not be aware that 70% of your home's energy is lost by air moving upward. If you make your attic more efficient by insulating, you will see an almost immediately reduction in your utility bills. For maximum energy efficiency, you need more than just insulation. You also need to air seal for even more savings on your energy costs.
A hybrid insulation system brings together two of the most popular insulators: spray foam insulation and fiberglass batt insulation. This system is also known as flash and batt. The hybrid system provides the air sealing benefits of spray foam insulation at a lower price point than full foam. This is a great option for a home owner looking for air sealing and wants to be mindful of their construction budget.

Have a crawl space? You may have big problems. Crawl spaces are susceptible to moisture and deterioration problems. Why? Soil has high humidity which causes a crawl space to become damp. This damp environment can be unhealthy, harboring mold and creating an ideal living space for pests. This damp space is not isolated below your home. In fact, your crawl space directly affects the air quality inside your home. The natural airflow of a home is from bottom to top (ground to sky). As your home naturally breathes, the moist air (and everything in it) flows up and into the living areas of the home.
The combination of building science and home technology makes it easier than ever to increase the efficiency of your home. Combining traditional methods with these new technologies can make your home more comfortable and more efficient. Sealing air leaks is a first step toward improving your home's energy efficiency. Air leaks in your home's envelope can affect heating and cooling systems, energy bills and comfort level. Air sealing involves sealing any penetration points where air can escape your home.
Spray foam insulation is very effective to keep the walls of a new home or existing home comfortable. Cold walls can dramatically affect your home's interior comfort! In new home construction, spray foam insulation can be installed in the wall cavity prior to drywall going up. Have an existing home with cold walls? Injection foam can be installed in a closed cavity to completely insulate and air seal the wall. Spray foam insulation can easily be installed in the walls of new homes. Since spray foam insulation is installed in an open cavity, there are many options to insulate this space.
