Whether you need insulation added to your home, an office building or a barn, you’ll want to choose the right contractor to do the job. You can check for experience and certification, as well as reviews and referrals, to find the best contractor for the job. Choosing the right contractor will ensure that you get your project done correctly and on time.

You should also ask about the type of insulation the contractor uses and its R-values. It’s important to know that R-values are determined by the material type, thickness and, in the case of loose-fill cellulose and batt insulation, installed weight per square foot (or density). A low-end contractor may use poor materials or cut corners in order to make a higher profit, which can result in less efficient insulation and an overall less comfortable house.

It’s important to choose a contractor who is fully licensed and insured, especially in the event of an accident or injury during your project. You should be able to verify this information by searching for the contractor’s license number with your state government and checking with the Better Business Bureau. You should also ask about insurance coverage for any injuries or damages caused by the contractor’s workers during the installation process.

If you’re like many homeowners, you may have heard of spray foam insulation and know it can help lower your energy bills but don’t quite understand how it works. Here at South Central Services, we get this question weekly from home and business owners living in Greencastle and the surrounding area. Spray foam insulation is a type of polyurethane plastic, and it’s made of two liquid chemical components that undergo a reaction to create the foam. These chemicals are called A-Side and B-Side and they are purchased by professional contractors, who facilitate the chemical reaction inside specialized rigs to create the spray foam insulation that’s used in homes and commercial buildings.

Essentially, spray foam 316 Insulation forms little pockets or cells that make it difficult for heat and sound to transfer through them. This makes them a great insulator, and they expand to fill in the small spaces and nooks of a building’s frame. In addition, spray foam is impermeable to water, which helps prevent leaks and moisture damage that can occur in walls or crawl spaces if they are not properly insulated.

Why 316 Insulation is Your Best Choice for Spray Foam Insulation

Unlike fiberglass or cellulose insulation, which are not designed to be installed in open cavities such as those found in new construction or old, unfinished attics and crawl spaces, spray foam can easily be applied in these areas, along with rim joists, walls and foundations. Spray foam also lasts longer than traditional insulation, as it doesn’t compress or sag over time.

The attic is one of the best places to add insulation to your home because it limits airflow, keeping warm air from rising and cooling air from escaping. Proper attic insulation keeps your house comfortable throughout the year, eliminating drafty rooms in winter and stifling heat in summer, reducing energy costs and ensuring better indoor air quality.

Insulation is rated by R-Value (or the amount of resistance it has to heat traveling through it) and the higher the number, the more effective it is. The Department of Energy recommends a minimum R-Value of 30 for most homes, though those in colder climates may need a higher R-Value.

A properly insulated attic can reduce the workload for your heating and cooling systems, allowing you to save money on energy bills month after month. In addition, a well-insulated attic can protect the rest of your home from extreme temperature fluctuations that can damage wood and other building materials.

How TCS Insulation & Coatings Can Boost Your Home’s Energy Efficiency

When you get a professional to install attic insulation, be sure they have the appropriate protective gear for the job, depending on the type of insulation used. Fiberglass batt insulation, for instance, requires protective clothing and a mask to prevent exposure to the fiberglass itself, which can be harmful to touch or inhale. The same is true for mineral wool and cellulose insulation, which require specialized protective gear like suits, goggles, and face masks. For this reason, we highly recommend having professionals perform these projects.
