Fiberglass Insulation 

Before you start, contact a professional contractor like us to help determine the type and amount you require. They can also identify any weak spots in your home that need insulation. Once you have identified the areas of concern, it's time to prepare your space. Clear any obstructions or debris in the area you plan to insulate. You may need to remove furniture, wall hangings, or any other item present that can impede the installation process.

The R-value is an insulation material's ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation's ability to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Our professionals can determine the R-value you require based on your home or business's needs. They will also consider factors such as the characteristics of the space to be insulated, the climate you live in, and local building codes.

A necessary step in installing insulation is knowing how to safely handle and work with it. Fiberglass insulation consists of tiny glass fibers that can irritate your skin, lungs, and ears. Always wear protective gear when handling fiberglass insulation, including gloves, a mask, and safety glasses. The material is design to "friction fit" in place so please ensure the proper width is used between stud and truss spaces. In some areas the insulation will need to be cut to fit before installing it, but be careful to avoid compressing it, which will leading to lower R-values. Then proceed by pushing it into place as evenly as possible. You may need a utility knife to trim the pieces around obstructions, piping, or electrical wires.

After you've installed the fiberglass insulation, make sure to check for any smaller missed areas. If you see any gaps or holes, fill them with smaller pieces of insulation, keeping in mind not to compress the insulation too much. Also, remember to consult your local building codes for installing any necessary vapour barriers (on outside walls and ceilings) that prevents moisture from penetrating and comprimising the integrity of the insulation. 

Fiberglass insulation is an affordable and energy-efficient option. It works by trapping air pockets, which prevent heat loss and reduce energy costs by up to 40%. The insulation contains tiny air pockets, reducing outside heat penetration and making your home feel cooler and more relaxing during summer. It's a quick and cost-effective solution that also helps protect the environment.

It acts as a barrier to protect your home from airborne pollutants and allergens that seep through the cracks. It keeps your home's air clean and fresh by preventing dust and other particulate from entering your living spaces.

Fiberglass absorbs sound, making it an excellent option to lessen external noise, such as from busy roads or noisy neighbors. It's a suitable material for creating an insulated theatre room or recording studio.

The material is non-combustible, meaning that it offers some level of fire resistance. Fibreglass is also added as a fire retardant material in many construction materials, such as fireproof doors, walls, and roofing systems.
