If you’re going to install fibreglass batt insulation in Brockville, it’s good to understand the basics. In general, insulation is designed to stop “heat transfer”. In wintertime, your insulation prevents indoor heat from leaking out. In summertime, your insulation prevents the outdoor heat from entering your home. Bottom line, “heat transfer” is bad, whether in winter or summer. It will compromise indoor comfort, diminish energy efficiency, and cause utility bills to be high. Conversely, quality insulation, professionally installed, effectively counters the negative impact of “heat transfer”.
Whether you’re choosing fibreglass loose fill insulation or installing fibreglass batt insulation, the objective is the same – to prevent “heat transfer”. Whatever the product choice, insulation performance is best maximized when installed professionally – not with a DIY installation.
When hiring a professional insulation contractor, you are assured of better results – both short-term and long-term. They will address every aspect of home energy, and will recommend upgrades and retrofits that are the most cost effective, and with the best return-on investment.
Fibreglass is a proven and effective insulation for a host of applications. Fibreglass batts are most commonly installed inside basement walls and in the attic. The fluffy “pads” fit together, forming a thermal barrier. The other fibreglass option is loose fill – “blown” into an attic cavity or in walls.
Both fibreglass products provide satisfactory R-Values. If you’re about to install fibreglass batt insulation in Brockville, choosing a professional installation will deliver the best results. The experts have product knowledge and installation expertise to ensure better long term results.
When expertly installed, fibreglass insulation will provide satisfactory thermal performance. Whether you’re choosing the fibreglass batts, or the fibreglass loose fill insulation, both options are safe. There are a number of benefits to installing fibreglass insulation (either product option).
Fibreglass insulation is not 100% effective in blocking air movement. Even with the most expert installation, there is some potential for air leakage. The solution is to install a separate air barrier that will effectively prevent air movement. Another issue with fibreglass insulation is controlling air moisture – mainly because air moisture compromises insulation efficiency. As such, a vapour barrier must be installed to effectively control air moisture. When the air barrier and vapour barrier are properly installed, the “system” ensures maximized energy efficiency performance.
In addressing the shortcomings of fibreglass insulation, many home energy professionals are recommending spray foam insulation. For homeowners looking for an alternative to fibreglass batt insulation in Brockville, spray foam insulation is a viable option. This unique product seals and insulates better than fibreglass, blocking air leakage and controlling air moisture at one time.
Once installed, a spray foam application creates both an air barrier and vapour barrier. In an attic space, the air barrier and vapour barrier are critical, and the finished results are excellent. Energy efficiency is dramatically improved – energy consumption is noticeably reduced - and utility bills are measurably diminished year after year (for winter heating and summer air-conditioning).
Compared with other insulation products, spray foam is superior. One application does it all – blocking air movement, stopping moisture collection, and providing high R-Value. However, as a premium insulation product, spray foam can be quite a costly endeavour for many homeowners.
For homeowners considering fibreglass batt insulation in Brockville, there’s a way to combine the batts with spray foam for a very cost effective installation. This “hybrid” installation combines fibreglass batt insulation together with spray foam insulation. Long-term results are excellent.
The “hybrid” installation provides home energy benefits from both of the insulation products. This is a unique installation that requires an insulation professional for the project as a whole.
