With this winter being very mild for much of the country, now is a good time to look at the insulation in your home. The more energy efficient your home is, the lower the monthly bills are going to be. Newer homes are made with the latest energy concerns in mind but older homes may need a little upgrading. Here's how to upgrade your insulation and what to consider when doing so. What does insulation really do? Insulation provides thermal comfort, the resistance of the flow of heat and acoustical comfort, the resistance of the flow of sound. Insulation works by equalizing the temperature so that it won't continue to flow through walls, or floors. There are different types are insulation: fibrous is made of air divided by small fibers which is formed into boards, blankets and cylinders; cellular is made of air or another gas and is contained within a foam of small bubbles and formed into boards, blankets or cylinders; radiant barriers are insulation systems that reflect radiant heat energy instead of trying to absorb it; reflective coatings are insulating ceramics that are blended into paints. - Rockwool Insulation
