Batt insulation is a type of insulation that is made to be placed in ceiling or floor joists with little to no modifications. These layers of insulation come pre-manufactured and usually include a vapor barrier made of paper of foil in order to reduce moisture build up and prevent mold. This ensures the health and safety of your home and extends the longevity of the insulation.
Spray Foam InsulationSpray foam insulation is best suited to new constructions or major renovation projects. With this type of insulation, the foam is sprayed onto a surface area and then sets and hardens within a short time frame. As the foam sets, it also expands to fill in any tiny crevices ensuring that the coverage of the insulation is complete and thorough . Since spray foam insulation is highly effective and long lasting, it is the premium insulation choice for major projects.

Blown-in insulation is ideal for small spaces and provides a fast and efficient installation. The insulation is "blown" into the attic floor up to the recommended levels and can easily fill in small crevices. Blown-in insulation is perfect for fitting around all the obstructions and nooks and crannies in low attics.
Radiant BarriersRadiant barrier insulation is used primarily to insulate the roof of a building but can also be applied within the walls as well. With this type of insulation, a thin sheet of highly reflective material such as aluminum is applied to reflect heat away from the roof in the summer and to reflect heat back to the building during winter. Radiant barrier insulation aids in both reducing heating bills when the weather is cold and reducing cooling bills when the weather is warm.

High quality and thorough insulation application is the best way to "go green" by keeping your home energy efficient and reducing reliance on gas or oil to heat and cool your home. Save money and the planet with Wake Forest Insulation.

Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency benefits the environment and the earth in addition to the people who reside in the home. As energy costs increase every year, so does the amount of pollution. By having a properly and professionally insulated home, you can not only save on your energy bill leaving you with more money in the bank, but you can also reduce your consumption of gas and fossil fuels. This is a win-win for your wallet and for the planet. Make sure your home is properly insulated throughout the entire building, from the roof, down to the foundation and basement or crawlspace. Optimal energy efficiency will have long lasting positive effects in reducing pollution and reducing the cost of your heating and cooling bills.
What are R-Values of Insulation?
R-value stands for "resistance" value. The R-value of an insulation material is measured per inch of thickness and it indicates how well the insulation prevents heat transfer or how well it stops cold air from leaving your home in the summer. The higher the R-value, the more insulation power it has. The R-value of a particular type of insulation material depends on the density and the type of material used. R-values for insulation are generally shown on the package of the insulation or directly on the insulation materials. Other materials that are commonly used with insulation such as radiant barriers or vapor barriers do not have R-values.
When it comes to R-values of insulation, a higher R-value is not always the most optimal choice. The climate and geography must be taken into account. There are some cases in which insulation with a lower R-value would be preferable. Call Wake Forest Insulation today and we'd be happy to have one of our insulation experts discuss what type of insulation and R-value is right for your needs. Adding new insulation on top of existing insulation that is not damaged can also increase the R-value in an affordable way. As an example, an attic that already has batt insulation installed could also benefit from having blown-in insulation added on top of that. The thermal performance of using both insulation types together will increase as well as increasing the R-value. The R-value can vary depending on the brand or manufacturer of the insulation.
