Open Cell
Spray Foam
Open cell foam insulation is a type of spray foam insulation that is made of polyurethane. When applied, it expands to fill cavities and gaps, creating an air-tight seal. Open cell foam insulation is known for its excellent thermal insulation properties, helping to reduce heat transfer and improve energy efficiency. It also helps to reduce noise transmission and can improve indoor air quality by reducing the infiltration of outdoor pollutants. One of the advantages of open-cell foam insulation is its flexibility, allowing it to conform to irregular surfaces and fill hard-to-reach areas.
Closed Cell
Spray Foam
Closed cell foam insulation is a type of spray foam insulation made of polyurethane that expands to fill cavities and gaps. Unlike open-cell foam insulation, closed-cell foam is made up of small, tightly packed cells that are completely sealed off, creating a highly effective air and moisture barrier. Closed cell foam insulation has excellent thermal insulation properties and a high R-value (a measure of insulation's ability to resist heat flow), making it highly effective at reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency. It is also highly resistant to moisture and can help prevent the growth of mold and mildew. Additionally, closed-cell foam insulation can help strengthen walls, roofs, and other structural elements, as it adds rigidity and strength to the surfaces it is applied to. Another advantage of closed-cell foam insulation is its ability to act as a vapor barrier, preventing the infiltration of outdoor air pollutants, allergens, and other contaminants, which can help improve indoor air quality.
Fiberglass
Blown-In
Fiberglass blow-in insulation is a type of loose-fill insulation material that is made of tiny glass fibers. The fibers are blown into attics, walls, and other spaces using a special machine that fluffs and distributes the insulation throughout the space.
Fiberglass blow-in insulation provides excellent thermal insulation, helping to prevent heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. It also helps to reduce noise transmission and is resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew growth.
Mineral Wool
Mineral wool insulation is a type of insulation material made from natural or synthetic minerals such as rock, slag, or glass that is melted and spun into fibers. These fibers are then compressed into batts, blankets, or loose-fill form and used to insulate walls, floors, ceilings, and other structures. Mineral wool insulation has excellent thermal and acoustic properties, making it an effective way to reduce energy consumption and noise pollution. It is also fire-resistant, moisture-resistant, and resistant to mold and mildew growth.
Retrofitting
Retrofitting insulation refers to the process of adding insulation to an existing building or structure. This is typically done to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs by preventing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
Retrofitting insulation can involve adding insulation to walls, floors, and ceilings using a variety of methods, including blown-in insulation, batt insulation, spray foam insulation, or rigid foam insulation. The choice of insulation method will depend on the specific needs and constraints of the building.
In addition to improving energy efficiency, retrofitting insulation can also help to improve indoor air quality and reduce noise transmission. It can also help to increase the overall comfort of the building by reducing drafts and maintaining more consistent temperatures throughout the space.
Batts Insulation
Batts insulation is a type of insulation material that comes in pre-cut sheets or rolls, often made of fiberglass or rock wool, which are designed to fit between the studs, joists, and rafters of walls, floors, and ceilings. The batts are typically flexible and can be easily cut to fit around obstacles such as pipes and electrical wires.
Batts insulation provides effective thermal insulation, helping to prevent heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. It also helps to reduce noise transmission between rooms and floors.
