Selecting the right insulation for your home or business isn’t always easy: there are a host of options to choose from, and the best one for you will be determined by a variety of factors. Here, the professionals from Priority 1 Construction Service in Cincinnati, OH, offer a simple guide to help you ensure your property is well insulated.

The following are four popular insulation types:

  • Insulation Rolls: One of the most common types of insulation is blanketed or rolled, which is used to insulate unfinished walls, floors, and ceilings. The most well-known type of rolled insulation is fiberglass; however, there’s also plastic, mineral, and natural fiber materials in this category. 
  • insulationFoam Board: This type of insulation is used on unfinished areas of your property as well, like the attic or basement. As the name implies, it’s fashioned from polystyrene or polyurethane boards that are installed in bare walls, ceilings, and floors. For fireproofing reasons, they also need to be covered with gypsum board. 
  • Loose Fill & Blown In: This type of insulation works great in hard-to-reach areas where mounting more traditional forms is problematic. Loose-fill/blown-in insulation is made of fiberglass, mineral slag, or cellulose and is installed using special equipment that blows, or pours, it into place. 
  • Sprayed or Foam Insulation: One of the most popular types of insulation nowadays, spray/foam insulation can be easily installed using a pressure-spray container. There are a wide variety of spray/foam insulation materials available, including polyurethane, phenolic, and cementitious; this type also works great for tight spots and hard-to-reach areas.
