Choosing the right insulation often comes down to open-cell versus closed-cell spray foam. The fundamental difference lies in their cellular structure and density. Closed-cell foam is dense, rigid, and acts as an air, vapor, and water barrier. Its compact structure gives it a high R-value per inch, making it a powerful insulator. In contrast, open-cell […]
Insulation is a fundamental component for protecting a home’s long-term value. Its primary function is to create a thermal barrier that slows the transfer of heat, which directly translates into lower energy consumption for heating and cooling. This increased energy efficiency is a major selling point for potential buyers. Beyond savings, proper insulation prevents moisture […]
Insulation is one of those out-of-sight, out-of-mind materials in a home, but its performance directly impacts your comfort and your wallet. Every homeowner should check their insulation every few years because, like any building material, it degrades over time. Factors like moisture, pests, compression, and simple settling can reduce its effectiveness, leading to reduced efficiency, […]
