Insulation,
is necessary in homes in order to retard
the transfer
of heat to cold in the exterior walls of
the structure.This
is accomplished by using different
applications
to suit the area where the insulation is
needed.
One method is the use of Batts, which is insulation
manufactured in rolls and friction fitted in between
the wall studs and covered over by the interior
wall
material, such as sheet rock or paneling,
etc.
Another is loose fill, which is usually blown
into the
attic areas and is installed to a higher
“R” rating
than the walls, due to
the fact that the heat transfer
is greater vertically.
(Heat rises and such).There are
many different
“R” ratings and the higher the “R”
rating, the higher the insulating capabilities
of the
product used.
These applications are basic and there are other
ways to install these products. Without this insulation
the heat and cold transfer is
accelerated and
your heating and cooling units would be running
almost non-stop. Very expensive in energy costs.
A good insulation
package will eventually pay
for itself in money and energy saved.
The application of the different types of insulation
depends on your particular needs and would be
determined by you and the estimator

your particular home. American Insulation has been
