Types of Insulation
R-19 Fiberglass Insulation: Standard crawl space insulation required to pass an inspection.
Waterproof Wall Insulation: Highly efficient crawl space insulation that also protects the outer walls to prevent moisture from entering the space.
Rock Wool Insulation: Heavy-duty insulation that is commonly used for sound proofing.
Batt Insulation: R-30 and R-38 batt insulation is commonly used in ceilings and attic spaces.
R-15 Insulation: Most commonly used in wall cavities.
Blow-in Insulation: Installed in attic space. Per NC building code R-38 is the minimum required. Although, more insulation can be installed for a higher R-value.
Insulation can become ineffective over time, especially if there is constant moisture. Moisture causes insulation to fall, attracts pests and enables mold growth. Insulation made today compared to 10 years ago has more advanced thermal technology and resistance to damage.
Old & Damaged Insulation:
Old insulation in crawl space that needs to be replaced.
Damaged insulation in crawl space that needs to be replaced.
Old Attic blow-in insulation
Missing Insulation:
The absence of insulation increases your energy bills and reduces the overall comfort inside your home. Bring your crawl space up to code by installing a minimum of R-19 floor insulation, or R-38 attic insulation.
BENEFITS OF PROPER INSULATION:
Regulates temperatures indoors
Increases comfort of your living environment
Protects air quality

attic insulation
Attic Radiant Barrier: Thermal barrier used to prevent the attic from becoming to hot in the warmer months. Creates an ideal space for storing items in the attic.
Attic Zipper Door: An insulated zipper door along the attic entrance prevents air exchange between the attic and home.
Attic Door Insulation: To pass a North Carolina inspection, insulation is required on some attic doors.
