Fiberglass
insulation for Eden Prairie homes is an excellent choice, especially for
those who need good insulation that is also cost-effective and budget friendly.
You might be wondering about this type of insulation and you might have a few
questions about it. Here is a brief rundown of some of the questions we hear
the most about it and our usual responses.
Q: What is fiberglass insulation and what
it is made out of?
A: Fiberglass insulation
can be used in houses or commercial buildings, and it is made out of very thin
strands of glass. It has a very high area-to-weight ratio, and it is a man-made
material that is great for buildings of all shapes, types and sizes. In the old
days, fiberglass insulation could irritate people’s skin if it made contact
with it, but nowadays that’s not the case. Also, fiberglass insulation is more eco-friendly
than it used to be – many manufacturers are using recycled glass to make it.
Q: Why is the R-value of a type of
insulation so important?
A: R-value means
“resistance value.” It is what measures insulation’s ability to resist heat
flow. So the higher the R-value, the better insulator that material will be.
Q: What kinds of benefits does fiberglass
insulation offer?
A: Fiberglass insulation
will help make your home or commercial property feel warmer in the winter and
cooler in the summer. You will possibly see some savings on your heating and
cooling bills, and it is also an effective way to help reduce noise pollution.
Fiberglass insulation is non-combustible and non-absorbent.
Q: Where in my house or commercial
property can I have fiberglass insulation installed?
A: You can have
fiberglass insulation stalled just about anywhere other than in the basement.
If you need insulation in your basement, we usually recommend closed cell spray
foam insulation, which we also install.
