Did you know 90% of US homes are under-insulated? Yes, it’s time to invest in simple home insulation solutions that can improve the way you live every day. One of the most practical and affordable ways to keep your energy bills down all year long is to invest in quality home insulation.



As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred dealer, we have access to top quality materials to ensure high durability and curb appeal to your home – including home insulation! Whether you’re just building your house or updating an older property, your home should be properly insulated from the roof down to its foundation. Here’s why.

Ventilation

When your attic or crawl space is properly ventilated, a positive airflow is created, which allows the house to breathe. Without effective cross-ventilation, summertime heat buildup in the attic can result in a wasteful and costly strain on a home’s cooling system. Not to mention, your comfort. Additionally, in the cold winter months, harmful ice dams can form if trapped moisture is not removed. A well-ventilated attic, on the other hand, has under eave or soffit vents, which allow fresh air into the attic and keep a home comfortable and dry.

Moisture Control

Showers, cooking, washing and even breathing can put a surprising amount of moisture into the home. The solution? Vapor retarders. They help control the amount of moisture passing through insulation and collecting inside exterior walls, ceilings and floors. Owens Corning provides products with vapor retarders pre-applied such as kraft-faced insulation. The kraft paper acts as a vapor retarder, and it is already adhered.

Bottom line, with trusted insulating systems, air sealing, moisture management and sustainable building science, you can enjoy complete energy performance in your home all year long.
