INSULATION
SERVICES
Residential and
Commercial Installation...
It may be out of
sight, in your walls or attic, but insulation is a
critically important building material for your home or
office. That's because it's one of the most
thermally-efficient and cost-effective ways to save energy
while making surroundings quieter and more comfortable to
live in. Often made from recycled and renewable resources,
insulation is also a sustainable building product--one that
has a positive
 impact
on our environment, helping reduce energy consumption and
the effects of global warming. Though it's been used
successfully for decades in homes and offices worldwide,
insulation is still affordable when it comes to energy
efficiency.
Lower Energy Bills
Insulation keeps your home warmer in the winter, which
lowers your heating costs. In the summer insulation keeps
your home cooler, which eases the load on your air
conditioner.
Quieter, More Comfortable Living
Insulation can actually absorb sound, reducing the unwanted
noise from appliances, audio equipment, conversation and
other sources of sound that are transmitted through your
walls and floors. Insulation also keeps your family more
comfortable by making it easier for your furnace or air
conditioner to maintain a constant temperature.
Think Environmental Sustainability
As insulation saves energy, it significantly decreases the
generation of harmful air pollutants to the atmosphere. In
fact, according to a Harvard study, insulating homes and
offices in the U.S. to even modest 2000 International Energy
Conservation Code levels would reduce hundreds of thousands
of tons of nitrous oxide and sulfur oxide released into the
atmosphere each year.
Not only does insulation contribute to cleaner air, it is an
inherently "green" product in terms of assessing its
environmental impact over its lifetime. Often manufactured
with recycled and renewable resources, every pound of
insulation ultimately saves twelve times more energy than it
takes to produce it. So along with greater energy savings,
insulation delivers a measurable impact on our environment,
reducing the amount of energy consumption and pollution.
Insulation also prevents the depletion of our natural
resources. Today's fiber glass insulation contains more than
25% recycled glass and uses renewable resources such as
sand. In fact, according to the Glass Packaging Institute,
Fiber glass insulation is the largest secondary market for
recycled glass containers.
