Keeping Your Home Warm With Insulation

You probably didn't know that the majority of homes in Maryland and Pennsylvania built before 1980 are under-insulated. Which means heat can escape through the ceiling, past the roof and into the atmosphere. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, adding insulation to the attic is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to help cut heating and cooling costs. And it will make your home more comfortable. As a general rule, if you have less than 12 inches of attic insulation, you probably need more. Insulating a residential structure to the levels recommended by the Department of Energy should result in net energy savings, over time, above the cost of the insulation project.

The majority of roof insulation is installed using traditional mineral fibre mat to the appropriate thickness. This material can be laid in one layer or two layers fitted at right angles as required. In circumstances where the roof pitch is very low or if there is some other difficulty with access we do have the facilities to blow in loose material fibre to the correct depth and density.

DryRight™ Fiber Glass Insulation

Moisture that becomes trapped in wall cavities can lead to mold growth and related problems – including structural damage, callbacks and liability issues. DryRightTM insulation from CertainTeed helps reduce the presence of one of the key components for mold and mildew growth – moisture – by allowing excess moisture in wall cavities to escape.

DryRight, available in both batts and rolls, utilizes a unique technology that helps to control excess moisture. When installed properly, DryRight helps wall cavities to stay dry and mold-free.

Moisture Control Through Innovative MemBrain® Technology

DryRight is R-13 and R-19 insulation faced with MemBrain®, the “smart” vapor retarder. MemBrain changes its ability to resist the flow of water vapor depending on the conditions within the construction assembly. This innovative facing allows water vapor to pass through when relative humidity is high, either from seasonal changes or moisture intrusion. When humidity is low, MemBrain works to block the passage of moisture to reduce the
likelihood of condensation on cold surfaces within the construction cavity.
