Types of Insulation

There are many different types of insulation available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some of the most common types of insulation used in Alabama and Florida include:

Batt:

Batting is made of fiberglass or cellulose and comes in pre-cut sections that are easy to install. It is a good choice for most properties, but it is not as effective as some other types of insulation.

Blown or Blow-in:

Blown is made of recycled materials such as cellulose or fiberglass and is blown into place using a machine. It is a good choice for areas of the home that are difficult to reach, such as attics and crawlspaces.

Spray foam:

Spray foam is a polyurethane-based insulation that is sprayed onto the walls and other surfaces of the home. It is the most effective type of insulation, but it can be expensive. Learning about spray foam? Check out our spray foam FAQ page.

Foam board:

Foam board is made of rigid panels of insulation. It is a good choice for exterior walls and roofs.

What is R-Value

The R-value of insulation is a measure of its ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation will be at keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The amount of insulation needed for your home or business will vary depending on the climate, the size of your home or business, and the type of insulation you choose.
