Blown in cellulose insulation is considered to be one of the most practical and cost effective method of insulation a home. It provides a green, efficient, and non-toxic barrier that is certainly worth considering. It is documented to be highly thermal resistance, environmentally friendly, and affordable.
Cellulose insulation comes from wood or recycled newspapers, cardboard etc. and other waste paper products. It is considered an eco-friendly home product. Though its source paper in its natural state is combustible, this product is treated with borates which are Class I fire retardants. Class I pertains to ordinary combustibles such as wood and paper as compared to Class II combustibles like flammable liquids, gasoline, oil, etc. When it is damp sprayed into open cavities or blown into closed cavities at reasonably high density, cellulose insulation adds to the air tightness of the house and actually serves as a fire protectant of the home.

While some forms of insulation do a poor job of preventing moisture from infiltrating the home, spray foam stands tall against moisture. Your entire house will be drier, healthier, and more comfortable. In addition,
Foam insulation is ideal for homes new and old. Most don’t realize that spray foam insulation improves overall structural integrity. It supports walls and floors by expanding into and filling into the tiniest gap, essentially binding adjacent surfaces.

In determining the best insulation product for you and your home, consider the strength that the various options add to the stability of the home. One of the overwhelming benefits regrading spray foam insulation is that it offers the unique ability to fills cracks that often can’t be filled by products that are laid down. Spray foam insulation is arguably the single best home insulation system on the market today.
With that said, you have options in deciding the type of foam insulation to employ at your home. Regarding the spray foam solutions, you will choose between the open cell and closed cell spray foam. The open-cell is the less expensive option, with a focus in blocking noises and tends to be more absorbent due to the air that gets inside the cells. The closed cell is dense, stiff and solid and it works better at keeping air and water from penetrating the walls. Once the foam is applied directly into the cracks, it expands and dries quickly while blocking air and water. It is not just a barrier for air and water but for heat and cold as well. Foam insulation will lower your heating and cooling bills cost.

Far too many new homeowners must turn to retrofit insulation services after making poor decisions during the construction planning process. You need to know where to insulate and the recommended R-values for each of the areas. To do this, you would be wise to reach out to an insulation professional who will guide you in ways that many home builders either can’t or won’t do.
Proper home insulation is essential for maintaining your home temperature during the summer and winter when the heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) system is running. If your attic insulation is inadequate or has holes you need to have it changed. There are various types of insulation available. The right kind for your home will depend on your budget and the best way to cover air and prevent it from leaking out.

Further, to maximize energy efficiency, it is just necessary to learn the connection between the insulation and other building components. This strategy will determine where you need to insulate and the recommended R-values based on the climate, type of heating and cooling system, etc. After deciding where you need to insulate it is necessary to know the type of insulation to use.

Living tastes evolve like most things. Interest in container home living is on the rise as people look for humble and affordable living solutions. The most common way to insulate a container home is with spray foam insulation.
This insulation material will be sprayed directly onto both the interior and exterior walls of a shipping container. In order to get the proper insulation in a shipping container, the walls must be built out to allow the proper depth, much like you will when finishing a basement. The challenge of properly insulating a container home is related to the shallow depth of the walls. While the metal structure of the shipping container is a sturdy and durable wall material, the lack of thickness poses a challenge for correct insulation.
Before deciding on an insulation material for your container home, you will first need to determine how you want to build out the walls. If you are connecting several containers for a multi-container home, adding space on the inside of the walls will not be an issue. But if you choose a tiny homemade from one or two shipping containers, space will be a bonus. In this case, you will be better off adding insulation to the exterior and then covering it with some exterior cladding. The reality is shipping containers are the perfect housing alternative for people searching for an affordable and sustainable home.
