How Insulation Saves Energy
In the winter, heat will tend to transfer from all living spaces to uninsulated areas like attics, garages and basements. In the summer, it will transmit from the outside into living spaces through ceilings, walls and floors. Effective insulation prevents this transmission by trapping millions of tiny air pockets. This allows your home to maintain a comfortable temperature without running your AC system as much.
Insulation Panama City a result, you can expect lower energy bills and improved comfort for the lifetime of your home. Adding insulation to your home is one of the most cost-effective energy upgrades you can make. According to Remodeler Magazine’s annual “Cost vs Value Report”, re-insulating your attic and installing foam insulation in the walls of your home can provide an 117% return on investment.
Insulation materials range from bulky fiber materials such as fiberglass, rock wool and cellulose to rigid foam boards to sleek foils. The common feature is that they are all designed to resist conductive thermal flow through the building structure in one of three ways:
How to Choose the Right Attic Insulation for Your Home
The most important aspect of a good insulation material is its ability to reduce thermal flow in or out of a building by creating an efficient barrier between the significantly different indoor and outdoor temperatures. Insulation is able to do this by reducing the transfer of thermal energy through conduction, convection and radiation. The ability of an insulation material to reduce the flow of heat is measured by its R-Value.
