Insulation will work with the builder to decide which type of insulation
and installation method is the best for your home to ensure year around
comfort and local code conformance.
We offer the following types of
insulation:
Fiber
Glass Batt Insulation
This
type of insulation comes in various R-values. The higher the R value, the
greater the insulating efficiency. The cavity space determines the highest
R-value that can be used. For example, a 2x4 exterior wall can have up to
an R-15 insulation and a 2x6 exterior wall can have up to R-21 insulation.
In general the following insulation types are used:
R-11
Batt Insulation- interior walls or basement ceilings for sound
control.
R-13
or R-15 Batt Insulation for 2x4 exterior wall construction.
R-19
or R-21 Batt Insulation for 2x6 exterior wall construction.
R-30
Batt Insulation for 2x10 exterior wall construction or cathedral
ceilings
R-38
Batt Insulation for 2x12 exterior wall construction or cathedral
ceilings
Fiberglass
Loose Fill Insulation
Fiberglass
Premium Loose Fill Insulation or Fiberglass Blowing Wool Insulation can be
blown into attics of commercial buildings or residential homes. This type
of insulation can be used to upgrade the insulation in existing homes
where insulation is not present or at a high enough R-value.
