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
A variety of insulation choices can be used to insulate your home’s walls. It’s easiest to install wall insulation inside open wall cavities during construction or major renovations. Often though, owners of older homes needing wall insulation face the challenge of insulating their existing, closed walls. It can be tricky to insulate behind drywall and between studs and framing, but it can be done. You can count on our highly trained team of installers at The Hayes Company to do the job safely and efficiently.
Insulation for 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 create small openings in your closed walls and then dense pack loose fill insulation into hard-to-reach places behind existing walls. The insulation completely fills your walls and creates an effective thermal barrier that will last for many years.
Different types of blown-in insulation are available such as:
- Fiberglass insulation – Made of tiny pieces of recycled glass, fiberglass is one of the most widely used insulation materials.
- Cellulose insulation- Made from recycled paper products, cellulose offers strong insulating power, sound control, and pest protection.
Insulation for Open Walls
We also offer different options to insulate open wall cavities during renovations:
JM Spider Plus Blow-In
We utilize Johns Manville Spider® Plus Formaldehyde-free™ blow-in fiberglass insulation for many of our wall insulation projects. This effective insulation is sprayed into open wall cavities during construction or renovations. It uses interlocking fiber technology to fill all gaps and voids quickly with no adhesive or netting for a faster installation. Spider Plus is a resilient insulation that dries fast and doesn’t shrink or settle over time. It delivers superior thermal performance and sound control for your Kansas City area home.
Blown-In Wall System
The blown-in wall system uses mesh or sheeting to hold the blown-in insulation in place during installation. Using special equipment, loose-fill fiberglass is blown into the open wall cavity through small slits in the covering. This densely packed insulation provides a highly effective and uniform R-value throughout.
Benefits of Wall Insulation
The benefits of wall insulation extend beyond cost savings from lower energy bills. Homeowners with effective wall insulation also experience consistent temperatures and even distribution of air from their HVAC system.
