Insulation Services:
Blown-In Cellulose or Fiberglass: Mountain fiber insulation is non-toxic, odorless, and contains no formaldehyde, asbestos, or fiber glass materials. It is ‘sprayed-in-place’ insulation applied to wall cavities and attic floors. This material is recycled in the USA, an EnergyStar labeled product, fire retardant, as well as insect and rodent resistant.
Cellulose vs. Fiberglass
Cellulose is highly effective at sealing against air filtration. Mountain Fiber insulation eliminates the voids and air pockets common with other insulation materials and also effectively reduces sound from room to room. The fibers can be blown over existing insulation, filling the voids which often have developed with older insulation. Cellulose applied in a continuous, seamless blanket, achieves the highest possible R-Value per inch of any fibrous insulation. This also assists in the control of outside dust infiltrating into the home.
When properly installed, fiberglass provides an insulating layer that slows the passage of moisture, heat, and sound. Blowing in loose-fill fiberglass also seals air spaces to prevent air movement and heat loss.
Air Sealing: Prescriptively air sealing your home is the process of restricting the passage of air flow through the tiny gaps and cracks around your house. Air leaks out of your house because of the difference in exterior and interior air pressure, allowing heat to transfer in and out.
Duct Sealing: In houses with forced-air heating and cooling systems, ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house. In a typical house, however, about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts. The result is higher utility bills and difficulty keeping the house comfortable, no matter how the thermostat is set. A duct system that is well-designed and properly sealed can make your home more comfortable, energy efficient, and safer.
