Wall Insulation Is Like a Blanket for Your Home

Attic insulation will help limit heat transfer in or out of the top of your home, but without effective thermal protection surrounding your house you are still vulnerable to airflow through your walls. Wall insulation serves as a blanket for your home. It helps prevent heat from leaving your home’s interior during the cold winter months and helps block it from entering when your air conditioning is keeping your house cool during the summer. If you notice that the temperature inside is suspiciously similar to the temperature outside and your home has adequate attic insulation, you should consider updating your wall insulation.

Multiple Types of Wall Insulation

Wall insulation is tricky to install because it is often behind drywall and between studs and framing. Therefore, contractors typically install effective wall insulation for all new construction projects. But if your home is older or the insulation is not as efficient as you would like it to be, The Hayes Company can help by installing loose fill insulation into closed walls.

  • Blown-in insulation – Also known as loose fill insulation, blown-in insulation uses recycled materials to fill wall insulation voids. The Hayes Company’s insulation contractors use specialized equipment to blow insulation materials into hard-to-reach places behind existing walls. Different types of blown-in insulation are available such as:
    • Fiberglass insulation – This is made of fiberglass and is among the most common form of insulation.
    • Cellulose insulation – Cellulose comprises recycled paper.
