What are the benefits of spray foam insulation compared to other insulation materials?
Spray foam insulation offers superior thermal performance, air sealing, and moisture resistance compared to traditional insulation materials like fiberglass batts. It forms an airtight seal, reducing energy loss and lowering utility bills. Additionally, spray foam insulation can help improve indoor air quality by preventing the entry of allergens and pollutants.
How does fiberglass batt insulation differ from spray foam insulation?
Fiberglass batt insulation consists of pre-cut fiberglass panels that are installed between wall studs, ceiling joists, or floor joists. While fiberglass batt insulation is cost-effective and easy to install, it may not provide as effective air sealing as spray foam insulation. Fiberglass batts are also prone to gaps and compression over time, reducing their overall effectiveness.
What is attic blow-in insulation, and why is it beneficial for Calgary homeowners?
Attic blow-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is installed by blowing or pouring loose insulation material into the attic space. This method allows for seamless coverage of irregularly shaped areas and hard-to-reach corners, providing uniform insulation throughout the attic. Attic blow-in insulation helps improve energy efficiency, reduce heating and cooling costs, and create a more comfortable indoor environment.
