Adding R-Value with Wall Insulation
Adding a dense pack of loose-fill fiberglass insulation to an enclosed exterior wall is a cost effective, easy way to add R-value to your home. It creates a fresh blanket of protection in exterior walls for increased energy efficiency and noise reduction. The higher the R-value of your home, the better insulated your home is on the inside and the more comfortable you will be throughout the year. If you are remodeling your home or replacing siding on your home, consider upgrading your insulation. The best time to add insulation is when a wall cavity is open. Our team can recommend the proper wall insulation for your project.
