Insulation acts as a barrier, keeping buildings warmer in the winter and cooler in summer, but you only have one chance to install the best for your home. After the drywall is in place, your decision is literally sealed.

Priority 1 Construction Service helps homeowners in Cincinnati, OH, choose the best insulation option for their property. It all starts with understanding the different types available and their various benefits.

Batt Insulation

insulationBatt insulation is made of flexible fibers — most commonly fiberglass — and is placed like blankets into spaces like exterior wall studs. Deciding the thickness and type of material can impact how much R-Value, or thermal resistance, your home has. Priority 1 Construction Service offers a cutting edge fire-, mold-, and mildew-resistant material for batt insulation. Relatively inexpensive, it’s best suited for standard stud and joist spaces without many obstructions.

Spray Foam Insulation

One of the newest and most effective forms of insulation is spray foam insulation, which is sprayed into spaces that need thermal resistance. It then expands up to 100 times its original size in order to fill as much space as possible, sealing the holes around wires and pipes. It’s ideal for floors, attics, crawl spaces, and basements — anywhere there are possible obstructions. Priority 1 Construction Service is a licensed Icynene® spray foam insulation dealer.

Foam Board Insulation

Like its name implies, this type of insulation is a rigid foam board that has special facing on each side. It offers high insulating value but doesn’t take up much space, and it is best suited for floors, ceilings, and unfinished walls. It’s also easy to cut and install.

Whether you need wall, floor, overhead, or basement insulation, Priority 1 Construction Service will guide you to the best choice and professionally install it for you. Call (513) 922-0203 to discuss your options, or learn more by visiting their website.
