Benefits of Clean Crawl Space Insulation For Auburn, WA Homes
Crawl Space Temperature Regulation
Insulation works to prevent the transfer of heat through the walls and floor of your Auburn home. When some rooms are better insulated than others, the air temperature from room to room can change dramatically. Cold floors, cold walls, or excessive heat in upstairs and attic areas are signs that your home is not well insulated.
Unwanted air transfer causes your heating and cooling systems to work overtime to compensate for the energy loss. The installation of new insulation, however, in key areas of your home, helps regulate the house temperatures and reduce your energy costs.
Keep Moisture Out Of Your Auburn, WA Home
- Holes or cracks in a crawl space allow moisture and water to enter into the structure of your Auburn, WA home. Mold and mildew thrive in the dim, warm conditions of the crawl space and wall cavities. The presence of mold and mildew drastically decrease the air quality of your home and causes decay to a home’s structure.
- Prescriptive air sealing, duct sealing, and the correct choice of insulation can lock out moisture and keep your attic and crawl space dry and toxin free.
Save Money With Crawl Space Insulation
Homes that lack proper crawl space insulation spend more money on their energy bills. Conversely, investing in attic and crawl space insulation creates an average energy savings of 30% – 80% (depending upon the condition of old insulation), simply because the insulation enables their Auburn, WA homes to be more energy efficient. Because of this, the insulation installation pays for itself within months.
Types Of Crawl Space Insulation We Provide In Auburn
Spray Foam Crawl Space Insulation
Spray foam crawl space insulation is made from two types of composite material: polyurethane, and isocyanate, an organic compound made from tweaking the molecular structure of isomeric cyanic acid. When sprayed out of the tip of the spray foam gun, the substance gradually expands, filling in the cracks and crannies of your crawl space or attic before curing. Spray foam insulation is the most effective material for insulating your Auburn, WA home’s crawl space available.
Fiberglass Crawl Space Insulation
Fiberglass insulation is usually installed as large segments of insulation that are rolled or laid out onto a surface, such as flooring, ceilings, or in wall cavities. However, blown fiberglass is becoming more and more popular, comprising one of the main crawl space insulation jobs we’re asked to do in Auburn, WA. This type of insulation is made of a mixture of natural sand and recycled glass.
Cellulose Crawl Space Insulation
Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper products, primarily newsprint. It’s recycled material content is very high, generally between 82-85%. The manufacturing process reduces the paper products to very small pieces, which are then fiberized and mixed with a flame and insect retardant, usually mineral borate or ammonium sulfate. Cellulose crawl space insulation is primarily found in pellet form as a blown-in insulation, but can be manufactured in batts as well.
Cotton Crawl Space Insulation
Cotton has become a favorite of the environmentally friendly Auburn, WA community. Recycled blue jeans have been used in its production, as well as other natural cotton fibers gleaned from industrial scrap. Most cotton insulations consist of 85% recycled cotton and about 15% plastic fibers, which are generally treated with boric acid as a flame retardant. Cotton crawl space insulation is non- toxic, and can be installed without respiratory or skin exposure protection. Unlike fiberglass insulation, no reports have been made of itchiness or burning of the skin when in contact with cotton insulation.
Denim Crawl Space Insulation
Using recycled jeans, post-industrial denim and cotton, denim insulation is an eco-friendly crawl space insulation material for your Auburn home. Without the itchy fibers that many other types of insulation contain, denim insulation is just as effective as fiberglass and cellulose insulation. While it is more expensive than other types of insulation, if you’re looking for an earth-friendly insulation material, denim insulation is the type of insulation for your home.
