Philadelphia Insulation Companies

Depending on the building materials and the location, different types of insulation can be used for different rooms throughout the home. Four of the most common insulation materials are loose fill, injection foam, fiberglass blanket, and radiant barrier insulation. Loose fill fiberglass is the most popular insulation and is easily installed in attics or around pipes. Foam insulation is great for hard-to-reach places, and it can be injected in finished walls and crevices. Precisely cut into sheets or batts, fiberglass blankets can be installed between wall studs or in the ceilings of basements. And lastly, radiant barriers, or reflective insulation, are foils or films that reflect radiant heat back in the direction it came from. They are typically installed in the attic, under the roof rafters. 

No matter which insulation material you choose, you’ll be able to tell the difference. New insulation comes with two main benefits—you can regulate the heating and cooling of your home with better precision, and you can save money on your energy bill.
