Insulation and Indoor Temperature Stability

Rise Foam Insulation properly installed, insulation slows the movement of heat through walls, attics, and floors. This helps to reduce heating and cooling costs and improves home comfort. It also supports environmental sustainability and contributes to a lower carbon footprint, all while protecting your health through improved air quality.

The most popular types of insulation are fiberglass, cellulose, and spray foam. Fiberglass and cellulose insulation trap air pockets within their structure, which provides resistance against the flow of heat. They are particularly effective in cold climates and work by slowing the transfer of heat through conductive materials such as framing, sheathing, and drywall. Spray foam is made from 2 different composite materials, polyurethane and isocyanate, and it expands upon application, sealing gaps and providing an airtight seal.

How Insulation Affects Home Resale in Today’s Market

Hot weather requires a different strategy. The best insulating materials for hot climates are reflective barriers and spray foam, which work to limit radiant heat flow in the form of sunlight or HVAC system air. They also reflect indoor temperatures, lowering the overall temperature in a room.

High humidity levels can lead to mold and mildew, which can negatively impact indoor air quality. Insulation limits the rapid temperature changes that cause condensation and moisture buildup, reducing the risk of rot and supporting healthier indoor environments. It also regulates indoor temperatures, easing the workload of your HVAC system and contributing to energy efficiency.
