Drafty spaces inside your home or business can steal soothing warm and refreshingly cool air from bedrooms and other gathering spaces. Having the right type of insulation can do wonders for sealing up those pockets. Priority One Construction Service in Cincinnati has more than 20 years of professional insulation services designed to deliver for the long term.

There are a variety of different types of insulation on the market that are manufactured to help keep energy costs down. A home insulation technician can help you determine which kind is best for your residence, where it should be applied, and how much is needed.

Older homes typically benefit from loose fill insulation, which contains cellulose, minerals, or glass fibers. The material is designed to secure areas that may be difficult for the installation of other types of insulation. An offshoot of loose fill is loose-fill cellulose. Made mostly from recycled newspaper, the insulation is usually treated with a fire retardant. The borates contained in the insulation tend to be compatible with the wood and other materials that were used to make older houses.

Another common type of insulation that can help save on energy costs is batt, which is comprised of cotton, fiberglass and wool. Contractors tend to use the material for extensive renovation projects that call for the replacement of interior walls. Rigid board is another form of insulation made from glass fibers or plastic foam. Both batt and rigid are common for attic insulation.

Today, there is also environment-friendly insulation that is free from fiberglass, formaldehyde, ammonium sulfate and other materials. Commonly known as blown-in cellulose installation, the material is made from 100% recycled newspaper, is resistant to fire, and can stand up against a number of insects.
