A well insulated home will keep you warm in the winter and cool during the hot summer months. Adding more insulation to problem areas like the attic, exterior walls, floors and basement will increase your home’s R-value and lower energy costs.

Before starting your insulation project, seal up any air leaks around windows and doors. Eliminating air leaks and increasing your insulation will contribute to the comfort of everyone within your home. If you are planning a DIY project that involves new drywall, this is the time to consider the insulation behind the walls. Installing insulation within the wall cavity before the drywall is applied ensures correct fitting and maximum effectiveness. Insulation is typically used on exterior walls as a barrier from outside temperatures but also consider acoustic batt insulation for interior walls, floors and ceilings. Acoustic batt will reduce unwanted sound that travels from room to room. To reduce noise further, use acoustic drywall and fill gaps with acoustic sealant.
