When it comes to comfort, having the “perfect” home is about creating an environment that always feels warm and inviting. A place that maintains the right temperature without a continual struggle. Where warmth comes naturally. Having the perfect home is about being able to control the environment you have built. That's where exterior thermal insulation comes in. Upgrading the insulation in the exterior walls, floors, and ceilings of your home will serve two purposes:
•Reduce the amount of energy needed to heat or cool the home
•Add to the comfort of the home by helping to regulate heat flow
There are several benefits of an energy-efficient home:
•Reduces energy costs
•Provides a warmer or cooler place to live
•Helps you more easily qualify for mortgages
•Eases strain on the environment
•Reduces pollution
The ability of insulation to resist heat transfer is rated by an R-value. Higher R-values mean greater insulating power. Savings vary, so find out why in the Seller's Fact Sheet on R-values. Fiberglass insulation achieves high R-values by trapping air within its network of glass fibers, separating the hot and cold sides.
Building codes regulate the minimum required R-values for differing climates. Increasing R-values beyond minimum requirements is an affordable way to create a more comfortable living environment while helping ensure that your home will always be on the leading edge of energy-efficient design.
