Spray foam insulation is a type of insulation material that is applied in a liquid form and expands to fill gaps and cavities, providing a tight seal and excellent thermal insulation. It is made from a mixture of isocyanate and polyurethane, which react to form a rigid or semi-rigid foam.
Spray foam insulation has several benefits, including:
1. *High R-value*: Spray foam insulation has a high R-value (thermal resistance) of around R-6 to R-7 per inch, making it an effective insulator.
2. *Air sealing*: Spray foam insulation expands to fill gaps and cracks, providing a tight seal that prevents air leaks and moisture intrusion.
3. *Moisture resistance*: Spray foam insulation is resistant to moisture, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth.
4. *Durable*: Spray foam insulation is a long-lasting material that can maintain its insulation properties for decades.
5. *Versatile*: Spray foam insulation can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs.
Batts insulation, also known as fiberglass batts, is a type of insulation made from fiberglass fibers that are formed into rectangular batts or rolls. The batts are typically installed in walls, floors, and ceilings to provide thermal insulation and reduce heat transfer.
Characteristics of batts insulation:
1. Made from fiberglass fibers
2. Available in various thicknesses (e.g., R-11, R-19, R-30)
3. Typically installed in walls, floors, and ceilings
4. Can be cut to fit around electrical outlets, pipes, and other obstructions
5. Relatively inexpensive compared to other insulation types
6. Easy to install, but may require protective gear (gloves, mask, safety glasses)
Benefits of batts insulation:
1. Energy efficiency: Reduces heat transfer and energy losses
2. Cost-effective: Relatively inexpensive compared to other insulation types
3. Easy installation
Slab jacking is a construction technique used to lift and stabilize sunken or uneven concrete slabs.
Slab jacking is commonly used to repair:
- Sunken driveways, sidewalks, and patios
- Uneven floors and foundations
- Settled concrete slabs
The benefits of slab jacking include:
- Cost-effective compared to replacing the concrete
- Minimally invasive, with small holes drilled into the slab
- Quick process, often completed in a few hours
- Can be done in various weather conditions
However, slab jacking may not be suitable for all situations, and it's essential to consult with us.
Blown-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is a type of insulation material that is blown into attics, walls, and floors using specialized equipment. The insulation material is typically made from:
# Types of Blown-in Insulation
1. *Fiberglass*: Recycled glass fibers that are blown into the desired space.
2. *Cellulose*: Recycled paper products, such as newspaper or cardboard, that are treated with fire retardants and blown into the space.
3. *Mineral wool*: Natural or synthetic fibers made from rock or slag that are blown into the space.
# Benefits of Blown-in Insulation
1. *Fills gaps and cavities*: The loose-fill material can reach into tight spaces and fill gaps, providing a more complete insulation job.
2. *Cost-effective*: Blown-in insulation is often less expensive than other types of insulation, such as spray foam or rigid foam board.
3. *Can be installed in existing spaces*: Blown-in insulation can be installed in attics, walls, and floors of existing homes, making it a great option for retrofits.
4. *Provides good thermal performance*: Blown-in insulation can provide R-valuesg ranging from R-2.5 to R-4.5 per inch, depending on the material and insulation.
It's recommended to consult with us for professional insulation questions to see if Blown in is right for you.
