Keep Your Home Comfortable with Residential Insulation

As homeowners become more concerned about energy costs, indoor air quality, and green building techniques, properly insulating new residential construction is becoming a priority for contractors. By creating a barrier between the inside and outside of the home, insulation reduces heating and cooling costs as well as keeping the home comfortable. Unfortunately, many older homes in Northern Virginia lack proper insulation. If you’ve been experiencing drafts, fluctuating indoor temperatures, or high energy bills, it may be time to upgrade your insulation.

Whether you’re building a new home or want to upgrade the insulation in an existing home, the team of home insulation specialists at Southland Insulators has the expertise to install the right insulation for your project. We will assess your home and determine which areas would benefit from new insulation. We offer a variety of insulation services and provide top-quality installation, so you can reap the full benefits of a comfortable and energy-efficient home.

Home Insulation Installation by the Experts

At Southland Insulators, we offer a wide variety of home insulation services to tailor the insulation installation to your home’s needs. Our main types of insulation options include:

• Fiberglass Insulation: As the most common and widely used type of insulation, fiberglass has long stood the test of time. Available both in batt insulation and blown-in insulation, fiberglass insulation is formaldehyde-free and made primarily from recycled materials. It is a cost effective insulation product and provides great sound dampening between walls and the floor.
• Cellulose Insulation: Made from recycled newsprint and other recycled paper, cellulose insulation is a durable, safe, and cost-effective choice for upgrading insulation. It can be installed in nearly any space, including over existing insulation.
• Rigid Foam Board Insulation: Used both in new and retrofit construction, a rigid foam board is usually either an extruded polystyrene board or a rigid fiberglass board. It can be used in certain applications for both interior and exterior insulation, in walls, ceilings, or roof decks.
• Spray Foam Insulation Offering air sealing and insulation in one step, spray foam insulation is ideal for attics, crawl spaces, basements, and walls. It is applied by spraying the product onto the desired area, then the product expands to fill the cavity and block any air leaks. Spray foam insulation offers optimal protection from the elements.
• Mineral Wool Insulation: Made from inorganic fibers derived from basalt, mineral wool is naturally fire resistant. It can help reduce the spread of fire while providing equally efficient insulation as other materials.

Benefits of Home Insulation

Investing in quality insulation makes a difference in the comfort and energy efficiency of a home. Whether you are insulating a newly constructed building project or upgrading the insulation in an older residence, the benefits become apparent immediately:

• Comfortable indoor temperature: Proper insulation keeps your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
• Better indoor air quality: By sealing leaks of air leaks with spray foam or other air sealing products, indoor air quality can improve.
• Lower your energy bills: Your heating and air conditioning can operate more efficiently, helping to reduce your energy costs.
• Moisture control: Insulation helps control thermal exchange which can reduce moisture. This helps prevent damage to your home from mold and rot.
• Sound insulation: Insulation helps reduce noise transfer between rooms or from the outside.
