Basement insulation is important to install as it prevents pests, blocks drafts, creates warmer floors in winter, lowers utility payments and creates a steady temperature year round.
An uninsulated basement lets in moisture, mold, cold energy, drafts, pests and mildew. Once the basement is properly insulated, cold temperatures are blocked from ever entering the the structure, which creates a comfortable living environment from the ground floor up.

Basement insulation has many benefits such as creating warmer home temperatures, reducing moisture, and blocking out pests. Insulated basements also provide warmer floors in the winter and cooler floors in the summer.
An insulated basement prevents health problems caused from mold, moisture and mildew. Insulation stops mold growth by sealing any cracks or holes in the structure in which moisture could seep through.
Once insulated, the basement helps maintain a stable consistent home temperature year round. Also, an insulated basement can be used for storage, another bedroom, an office or workout room. Basement insulation improved property value and makes the home more appealing to potential buyers.
Fiberglass insulation is a non-combustible material made from recycled glass and mineral-based ingredients you can pronounce. It is a tried-and-true insulation material that has been used for at least 75 years and is also the most thoroughly researched and tested insulation on the market. Commercial and residential fiberglass insulation has proven itself to be a prominent cost-effective way to get the comfort and energy efficiency you want.
Spray foam is a commonly used term for various chemically engineered insulation products. Some people are familiar with single cans of insulation products found in their local hardware store; this is called one-part spray foam, meaning it is a continuous mix that can be applied to specific, smaller areas of need. This form of BCX0 commercial or residential spray foam insulation is intended for “quick fix” use, not long-term or large-scale insulation requirements.
For larger commercial spray foam insulation jobs like covering an entire ceiling area, attic, crawl space, or wood-framed walls, professionals utilize a two-part foam that combines isocyanate catalysts with polyol resin at the application nozzle. When mixed during the spray process these two materials react to each other creating a specially engineered insulation product capable of expanding to 30-60 times that of its liquid state. Spray foam fills cracks and voids while adhering to irregular surfaces, making it especially effective in insulating homes.
Rockwool is the recreation of a naturally occurring material found in Hawaii. The material was found next to volcanos after an eruption since the high winds would blow the molten rock, forming thin rock strings which were then discovered hanging on the nearby trees.
Rockwool insulation is produced liquifying rocks at high temperatures and spinning the liquid at a high speed to form thin fiber strings. This form of insulation boats an R-Value of 3.0-R to 3.3-R per inch.
