Insulation’s Gone Hi-Tech. Seriously.

It used to be that insulation simply meant big rolls of fiberglass batts. Well, times have changed. Alpine Insulation is on the leading edge of insulation technology offering options including closed-cell urethane foam, wall-spray cellulose, Fiberglass Blown in Insulation System, and fiberglass batts. Which one’s the best for your project? Well, that depends. There’s plenty to consider when weighing insulation options:

R-Values: A laboratory measurement of conduction (the transfer of heat through a solid material)
Sound Control: How much sound the material dampens
Convection: The transfer of heat by moving air
Radiation: The transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves
Fire Resistance: How well a material stands up in case of fire
Air Infiltration and Intrusion Control: How much air can pass through the material
Moisture Control: How much moisture a material holds increasing the possibility of mold
Environmental Considerations: How good the material is for the planet
Energy Savings: How much money a material can save on energy bills
