Our Insulation ServicesBefore you seal proof your house, it is vital to know the different kinds of sealants available in the market, so you are not misguided by your installer. Different types of sealants have different uses. Please read closely through this page and allow us to share some of our knowledge.
Rockwool Insulation
Rockwool Insulation is also known as mineral wool insulation. It is similar to fiberglass in the sense that it comes in easy to install batts. It is made by heating natural rock in temperatures of about 3,000 degrees until it is molten. The liquid is then exposed to high-pressure steam as it is spun at high speeds.
Think of this process in the same way in which cotton candy is made. The strands are then cut into convenient sizes to suit market needs. Rockwool has several advantages that make it ideal for use in residential and commercial properties. These advantages are:
Uses of Rockwool Insulation
Rockwool is best used for sound deadening, making it ideal for use in basements, especially if you have a music studio.
Rockwool Insulation is also best used as a firestop to separate different house sections in case of a fire outbreak. This is because it can withstand temperatures of up to 1,400 degrees. It also has other commercial uses such as in resin bonded panels and as a filler in brake pads. GIVE US A CALL TODAY! 778-400-4307 |

Cellulose Insulation
|
Cellulose insulation is a type of insulation that uses plant fiber as drought proof or as an insulator. It is the oldest form of Insulation and can be used in both new and old homes. It can either be used in open new walls, enclosed existing walls, or in an unfinished attic floor.
Cellulose can be applied in several ways. One of them is blowing it into attic cavities or dense packing it into walls. Though it has soundproofing properties, it is primarily used for thermal insulation. There are two types of cellulose;

Radiant Barrier
A radiant barrier is a building material used in houses that suffer from severe or excess heat. This is because the material radiates heat away from your attic. A radiant barrier looks like an aluminum foil that can be coated for abrasion and is usually attached to other insulating materials such as bubble and rigid foam. Apart from radiating heat away from your attic, it can reduce your energy bills by more than 20%. If installed in a commercial property, the savings could be in the thousands of dollars a year.

Foam Insulation
Foam insulation is also known as spray foam insulation. It is made from a combination of two materials, namely polyol and isocyanate. When these two materials mix, they expand up to 60 times their liquid volume. Initially, it was used in the aircraft industry, but it is currently being used in residential and commercial properties. There are two types of foam insulation:

Pink Insulation
Pink insulation boards are made from polystyrene resin and have an insulating value of R-5 per inch. The pink board can also be considered as rigid insulation. If pink is your favorite color, give us a call, and we will and provide a free quote.
If you do not prefer pink insulation, you can try out blue foam. The main difference between blue and pink is that blue foam in used for sheathing on the exterior of a wall. There are also blue boards designed for roofing and cavity wall applications. Pipe InsulationPipe insulation is a form of acoustic sealing used in residential and industrial pipework. The type of pipe insulation installed will depend on two main factors. One of them is the diameter of the pipe, and the second is the wall thickness.
All outdoor pipes must be insulated with a foam that has a thickness of 19mm. Three insulation types can be used on pipework. These are:
Are you wondering how much this will cost? Give us a call and we will inspect the premise and then give you a free quote. In most cases, the installation cost is recovered in the form of energy savings in 2-4 years.

Blown-In InsulationBlown-in insulation is the act of blowing an insulating product on the floor, wall cavities, or attic. Most homeowners prefer blown-in insulation because it is much more airtight than standard sealing products. Because the material is smaller, it can get into tiny crevices in the attic, making it more reliable.
Blown-in insulation can also be used on uniquely shaped objects, pipes and beams. Though blown-in is more expensive than other types of insulation, it has better energy-saving capabilities. Other advantages include:
