Bestway Insulation

We air seal the the top plates, chases, wire penetrations, junction boxes, bath fans, and tin and heat caulk furnace flues. Then we place rulers and baffles for quality control. We use fire stop foam and fire stop caulk for this. We will not use the white foam on walls because of flammability issues (without any wind outside you could have a 10 mile an hour convection current of air moving up and down the walls.) What is prone to happen is the hot air from the attic in the summer goes down the walls and heats up the house from the inside out.

Attic temperatures can rise up to 160 degrees in the summer. Proper attic insulation creates a buffer to stop the heat from coming into the rooms below it. Not all insulation materials give the same results. We get 3 times the results by using cellulose. Each product has a specific area or application which it works best for in that particular home or building. Bestway Insulation uses a variety of insulation products, but find that Cellulose is superior at insulating many existing businesses and residential homes.

When you walk out into a blizzard, what is going to give you the most comfort? Do you grab a coat or a hat? Most of us grab a coat, and rightly so. The wind blows sideways, not from up above (unless it's a tornado), so wall insulation is a common ‘rookie' mistake when insulating. Walls Regulate the temperature and comfort of the home. Winds blow sideways and hit the walls of the home first. Almost everything is porous on your walls, including brick, mortar and siding. Winds push the cold through your walls and into your home.
