The residential fiberglass wall insulation offers a complete bundle of advantages that improve your day-to-day living experience. For thermal comfort, fiberglass batting forms a uniform thermal line in your walls that retards the flow of heat, whether warm or cool air in winter and summer, respectively. It allows your HVAC system to operate with less effort and the monthly energy expense to be significantly cut down month after month. To be acoustically comfortable, the thick glass fibre captures and absorbs the sound vibrations, which result quiter rooms. The bathrooms become more private, and the living spaces create peaceful atmospheres that allow the family members to relax without listening to what is happening in the other rooms. Fiberglass is naturally non-combustible and works as a fire-resistant barrier in wall constructions, slows the spread of flames, and, as such, gives significant time to family members to evacuate the premises during an emergency. On moisture, fiberglass with suitable vapor retarders should be installed correctly to avoid condensation in the wall cavities, which will prevent the growth of molds and structural deterioration. We evaluate the individual needs of your home in your free consultation and talk about your comfort goals and budgetary conscious options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What R-value do I need for my home's walls in Central Illinois?
For most homes in Central Illinois, 2×4 walls should be insulated to R-13 or R-15, while 2×6 walls should achieve R-19 to R-21. These values meet or exceed local building code requirements and provide optimal energy efficiency for our climate zone. We will recommend the specific R-value appropriate for your home during your consultation.
Will fiberglass insulation help with noise between rooms?
Yes, fiberglass insulation is very effective in sound control among the rooms, among the floors, and exterior sources. In cases where soundproofing is critical (for instance, in bathrooms, bedrooms, and home theaters), we would recommend certain installation methods that would provide maximum acoustic performance.
Can fiberglass insulation be installed in existing walls without tearing them open?
In the case of the existing finished wall, fiberglass batting cannot be installed without the removal of drywall. We, however, provide blown-in insulation as a solution that is to be used in existing wall retrofits that offer great thermal performance with the least disruption. During your consultation, we will talk about both of them and suggest which one would be the most appropriate in your case.
How do I know if my current fiberglass insulation needs replacement?
The indicators of possible replacement of your fiberglass insulation include moisture damage, mold growth, presence of pests, settling or compression, and places where no insulation is at all. In case your house is drafty or your energy bill is greater than it should be, we also do a free consultation, including the examination of your current insulation.
Is fiberglass insulation environmentally friendly?
Yes, fiberglass insulation is a green product. It is produced with natural and recycled materials, i.e., mostly sand and recycled glass, and it includes high proportions of recycled material. It also saves you decades of energy use in your home, saving you the carbon footprint during the service life of your home.
