Wall Insulation

There are several ways to make a home or commercial structure comfortable considering its inner temperature. The most common and reliable way is to insulate it. Benefits of home insulation or insulated structure is a well-known phenomenon. Different areas of structures have varied significance. Insulating these areas with the right R-value with professional help is necessary. It can favour the thermal conditions of these structures for years. 

What Do You Need To Know About Wall Insulation?

Warm air easily seeps through the walls in any structure. In old homes that have solid and uninsulated walls, it becomes easier for warm air to get through. Wall insulation is the insertion of insulating material between the layers of the wall. Creating a thermal envelope in your home is the important function of wall insulation. 

According to studies the heat loss through the walls go up to 10-20% during winters while the percentage gained during summers goes up to 15-25%, which is an increase. 

A well-insulated home prevents the escaping of heat and also gaining through walls. Residential wall insulation creates a bigger difference in regulating your home temperature. Like any insulation and its purpose, wall insulation provides quality resistance to heat flow. Ideally, this is known to work as efficiently as a heating system or air conditioners. Wall insulation reduces the high energy bills by making the thermal condition of your home even in all the spaces. 

Exterior and Interior Wall Insulation

Apparently, up to 25% of heat is known to escape through walls. Exterior wall insulation is thermal insulation that balances the temperature of the residential or commercial structure. Insulated walls are a cost-effective way to increase comfort in your home and commercial structures.  Insulating your interior wall reduces the transfer of heat flow from one space of the home to another. Absence of interior wall insulation can allow outside air to enter your home causing an imbalance in your home temperature. Ideally, interior wall insulation is installed during new construction but adding insulation to existing walls is also possible which does not require the drywall to be torn off. 

Does Wall Insulation Help Sound-Proofing?

Wall insulation is considered to be very effective for soundproofing. If your home has unnecessary noises loudly echoing around, then it is time to get your insulation done. It simply means that your structure lacks the required insulation. Wall insulation is an excellent way of resisting external noise disturbance. Most of the modern homes come with properly insulated walls. But some old homes which need a renovation will also need a thorough check on walls. Some wall insulations like cellulose, fiberglass and foam prevent and reduce noise not only from the outside but within the home or other structure too. Generally, loose fiber acts as a sound-absorbing agent which is the determining factor for sound-proofing. Insulations like fiberglass and cellulose are ideal for walls, ceilings and floors. Loose-fill cellulose and fiberglass insulation are considered as the best types for effective sound-proofing.
