Simply put, insulation is the buffer between the exterior building wall and the interior wall. A well-insulated home or office can mean the difference between a comfortable, quiet space…and a space that is just as cold, hot, or noisy as the outside. During the hot summer, insulation keeps cool air inside the building and keeps warm air out. When it’s winter, insulation does just the opposite: keeps warm air inside while keeping cold air out.
The proper kind of eco-friendly insulation can also have a huge impact on your home’s energy efficiency. It can also reduce the stress placed on your AC unit, as well as reduce the sounds of cars or airplanes from being heard inside.
There are several different kinds of insulation including wool, cellulose, polystyrene, and urethane foam. The insulation can be either in spray form, blown in, or bats. The kinds of insulations that work best may vary according to several factors, including the weather of your geographical area.
Every type of insulation has a different use. For example, thermal insulation warms or cools a building by reducing the rate of heat transfer. As its name implies, acoustic insulation filters noise between different rooms and floors of your home. Reflective foil and vapor barrier insulation help protect your home from outside elements such as rain, moisture, dust, or wind. This type of barrier is especially useful during colder months, as it can stop damaging moisture from entering your walls and becoming mildew.
Water heater insulation blankets are specifically designed to stop your water heater from working overtime, adding an extra boost of heat that will keep water warm throughout the day.
