Protect (something) by interposing material that
prevents the loss of heat or the intrusion of sound.
mineral wool insulation
fiberglass insulation
Fiberglass batten insulation is a common insulation material made from recycled glass that's melted and spun into long glass fibers. The fibers are then bound together and baked in an oven, creating millions of tiny air pockets that trap heat and slow its transfer, keeping rooms warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Fiberglass insulation can also help reduce sound.
rigid board insulation
Rigid board insulation can be purchased in a variety of thicknesses and materials ranging from polystyrene to fiberglass and polyurethane. One of the main benefits of rigid board insulation is it can withstand high temperatures making it a great fire retardant product. It can also be used as thermal insulation on concrete and block walls. Average R-Value for rigid board is R- 6.5 per inch.
air sealing
Air sealing is becoming an industry standard when insulating your attic.
What exactly is attic air sealing?
Many air leaks and drafts are easy to find because they are easy to feel — like those around windows and doors. But holes hidden in attics, basements, and crawlspaces are usually bigger problems. Sealing these leaks with caulk, spray foam, or weather stripping will have a great impact on improving comfort inside the home and reducing utility bills.

Spray foam insulation
Whether you need to simply deliver a comfortable, affordable home environment for your clients or solve design challenges to give them the home of their dreams, spray foam insulation is the clear choice for insulating a house. Spray foam insulation is an air barrier that seals cracks and crevices other insulations miss, even in hard-to-insulate spaces. The results are unique and lasting benefits, like improved indoor air quality, moisture management, sound dampening — and energy savings so dramatic, spray foam insulation pays for itself in just three to four years on average. Energy efficiency is a top consideration among homeowners in the market for insulation. Spray foam insulation helps you give them exactly what they want. In fact, spray foam can help reduce energy bills by up to 50% for savings that exceed insulation costs and the investment then continues to pay off in the form of monthly savings for the life of the home.
Because less energy is needed to heat and cool a home with spray foam, HVAC capacity needs may also be reduced, saving you and your clients more money and possibly freeing up space within the design. Air leakage can account for up to 40% of a building’s energy loss, and it cannot be stopped with traditional insulation. R value is important, but an airtight seal is equally important for achieving energy savings.
Spray Foam can be used in wood and metal-framed buildings. With unequaled air sealing and R-values of greater than R-7.0 per inch, spray foam uniquely provides heating and cooling savings throughout its lifetime. Drafts and air infiltration are eliminated, making the residential client a more comfortable living environment and the commercial client more secure. Spray foam reduces the noise transfer and sound penetration from both inside and outside the building envelope due to its Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 37. Spray foam insulation provides insulation R - value and air-sealing in a single step. This is the only way to truly provide your clients with the most energy-saving value from their insulation costs.

Spray Foam offers numerous builder and contractor benefits
High quality insulation is one of the best investments you can recommend to a homeowner. They will see a quicker return on their investment by selecting the right insulation for their application. The most critical places to improve insulation are attics, crawl spaces, basement ceilings, and exterior walls. If the insulation is installed properly the savings can be anywhere from 20% to 50%. Many homeowners are aware that cold or warm air may be entering their home through windows, doors, and walls, but few realize they are losing energy from air loss to the attic. That is why we also air seal along with insulating. There are mainly four types of insulation available to use and each one has its own benefits per its application.
