Do you have questions about insulation? Redi National Pest Eliminators has answers! Your building needs insulation if you lack the right amount or do not have any at all. Over time, insulation can wear down due to old age, harsh weather conditions, and animals in your walls can degrade the material. With recent changes in attic and crawlspace insulation standards, you’ll find most homes do not meet the criteria for effective insulation. The largest space that needs insulation is the attic and exterior walls, but you should also insulate the roof, window and doors and floors. Lack of insulation can have heat loss. Insulation can increase the comfort of the home, save on energy and lower utility costs. Adding insulation between walls and attics will help the home immensely. Insulation helps keep noise out of the home, also decreases pollen and dirt as well as helps with humidity control. The most affordable type of insulation is fiberglass. Fiberglass insulation is usually made of fine fibers. The fiberglass insulation can be applied in loose fill or a blanket type of fiberglass. The loose-fill insulation, also referred to as blown-in insulation, is a type of attic insulation that is made of loose fibers that are spread on the attic floor. The blanket type of fiberglass blanket is the recommended product for ranges, broilers, oven panels, commercial ovens, fireplaces, solar collectors and incinerators. Another type of insulation is cellulose. Cellulose insulation is generally made from wood, and more specifically from paper: recycled newspapers, cardboard, office paper, and other common wastepaper products. It is the eco-friendly choice. Insulation is also important to install in the crawl spaces of the home. The insulation in the crawl space supports the heating and cooling of the home. It is usually insulated with glue rigid foam insulation board. An important thing to do to make sure your insulation lasts and does not get infested with types of animals looking for warm spots to nest is to seal any entry points to the crawl space, attic and roof areas that they might chew their way into. The sealing makes sure those barrio vents are strong enough to keep them out and keep your insulation and home safe. Redi National can do all of this for you and more!
