Homeowners currently shopping for basement insulation in Peterborough are usually focused on making the basement much more liveable and much more comfortable. The idea, of course, is to make a space that is much more family-friendly. And here, the best place to start is by insulating.
When a basement is well insulated, it’s more than just a comfortable space. It’s a space that is also energy efficient – homeowners use less energy for winter heating and for summer cooling. In fact, with high performance basement insulation, heating and cooling bills are markedly reduced.
For homeowners considering basement insulation in Peterborough, it’s wise to do it right from the start. Having a professional installation means getting everything is done properly, and with better long-term results. With Great Northern Insulation, homeowners are assured of quality.
When the basement is properly insulated, the benefits are many. Overall R-Value is enhanced; thermal insulation is improved; air leakage is eliminated; and air moisture is better controlled. With everything in place, energy efficiency is vastly improved, and utility savings are sizeable.
Before any insulation is installed, a basement should be evaluated for water entry issues. Clearly, these issues should be resolved, and proper repairs made. In addition, it’s essential to properly air-seal the basement so that air leaks are blocked. Once done, new insulation can be installed.
Most residential basements have some “awkward” crawl spaces that present challenges when insulating. These too should be air-sealed and well insulated to ensure thermal protection. In fact, these spaces do quite well when installed with spray foam insulation (sealing and insulating).
When it comes to basement insulation, a professional approach is the preferred approach. With Great Northern Insulation, in-house home energy experts will recommend the best product for the job, along with the most cost-effective installation. The aim is to deliver long-term results.
Today, many more professionals are choosing spray foam insulation for basements. Spray foam provides more product benefits than anything comparable. The application seals a space better; stops moisture from accumulating; and ensures higher R-Values than other comparable products.
The benefits of spray foam are hard to beat. However, this is a premium product and application, and might not suit all budgets. Keeping this in mind, Great Northern Insulation can recommend a “hybrid” installation – one that combines spray foam with a complimentary product, where both products work together. The “hybrid” install is cost-effective, and with great long-term results.
