Primary spots in your house where insulation is needed

‍

Insulate your home properly, whether it's new or already there. Depending on the season, a home needs insulation to keep the heat in or keep it out. The proper insulation will lower energy costs and help maintain more comfortable indoor temperatures. To make your home energy-efficient, specific areas from the roof to the foundation should be insulated. SPRAY FOAM TECH provides top-notch insulating materials. Our strategy entails treating each house as a building envelope and insulating it appropriately on each level. Since 2009, we have offered efficient insulation solutions for a variety of residential and commercial buildings.

The important areas in your home that you should insulate are:

‍

A few areas deserve special attention but do not limit your detective work to just these places.

‍‍

Attic Insulation

Attic insulation is essential because heat transfer from or seepage into the attic can raise your heating and cooling expenditures. An attic with inadequate insulation can waste about 30% of the energy in a house. The recommended R-value for attic insulation will vary depending on the attic space type (capacity to resist heat flow). For attic insulation, spray foam, cellulose, or fibreglass insulation can all be quite effective. Before insulating your attic, look for any leaks or repairs.

‍

Basement Insulation

Energy savings can be significantly increased by insulating the basement. Insulation in the basement guards against the entry of moisture, and it also lessens condensation and heat loss. Insulation in unfinished basements contributes to frozen pipes in winter, moist walls, and blistering paint. Mold and moisture problems might arise as a result of wet basements.

‍

Crawlspace Insulation

To prevent your flooring from feeling like you're walking barefoot on an ice rink, it's imperative to insulate a crawl area. Insulate the interior of the foundation walls to ward off moisture and retain heat. Insulation made of spray foam helps prevent frozen pipes and chilly flooring. It also minimizes the risk of moisture and mould by preventing air from entering the crawlspace area. Additionally, sound can be reduced via insulated floors, especially in multi-level residences. Look for any plumbing leaks and make the necessary repairs before insulating the crawl space.
