Sustainable Insulation Options

Choosing the right insulation material is key to achieving an energy-efficient building envelope.

Cellulose Blowing

• Cellulose is made from recycled paper and treated with fire retardants for safety.
• It expands to fill every nook and cranny, eliminating air gaps that cause thermal loss.
• Its high thermal mass helps regulate indoor temperatures by absorbing and releasing heat slowly.

Rigid Foam Board

• Rigid foam provides a high R-value per inch, making it ideal for attics and crawl spaces.
• It acts as a vapor barrier, which is crucial in preventing moisture buildup inside the walls.
• Extruded polystyrene is water-resistant and often used in below-grade applications like foundation insulation.

Combining different types of insulation can optimize both comfort and environmental impact.
