Insulation for the attic and crawl spaces usually gets installed between and over the wooden joists in the attic. We only install insulation between rafters if the space has been turned into a living space or room.
For cavity walls, we install your preferred type of insulation in the gap between the walls to prevent air from running through, which could lower your indoor temperature. We can also insulate solid walls by insulating from inside and outside and make them just as effective as an insulated cavity wall.
We often do two main types of underfloor insulation, namely:
Our Los Angeles home insulation projects that feature ceiling insulation are often completed for thermal or acoustic purposes between floors, typically in multi-story homes. We install a self-supporting ceiling beneath the existing ceiling and put insulation material in between.
Depending on the type of insulation and the space that needs to be insulated, we use these three common types of insulation methods:
The type of insulation we choose will depend on a few factors, including the –value, climate, significance, and product performance.
This type of insulation comprises cellulose material, rock wool, or fiberglass, designed to fit any area. For cellulose, the value is 3.8, while for fiberglass, the R-value is 2.2. We often use it where other types of insulation will not fit.
Foam insulation usually has a higher R-Value and can eliminate the need for caulking and other weatherizing tasks.
Spray foam insulation has two types:
This type of insulation is mostly made from polyurethane, polystyrene, or polyisocyanurate, meaning they have better thermal resistance than other materials of the same thickness. They have a high R-value at minimum thickness, ranging from 4 to 6.5, besides being ideal for spaces with high humidity.
This is our popular insulation option for attic spaces, and it is made of cotton, mineral wool, and plastic fibers. They come as batts and rolls, with typical batts and rolls having an R-value between R-2.9 and R-3.8 per inch of thickness. The medium-density and high-density blankets have R-values between R-3.7 and R-4.3.
This insulation is created from reflective barriers such as aluminum foil applied over material like polyethylene. They can create air pockets between two materials, which minimizes heat transfer.
Radiant insulation reduces the transfer of heat from the roof to the other surfaces in the attic.
Once you have decided to improve your home’s indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and general comfort with Indoor Air Care, we ensure we are with you every step of the way, from the first consultation to the post-installation consultation.
Several problems with indoor air quality and home temperature will arise when your home insulation wears out.
As your home insulation contractor in Los Angeles, here are some of the most common signs you might notice if it is time to replace your home insulation.
To ensure your new home insulation lasts longer, we first install the best insulation for your space and give you recommendations on how to maintain it in optimal condition, with the solutions listed down below:
By hiring Indoor Air Care and investing in the right home insulation, your home benefits all year round. Here are some advantages of a properly insulated home:
Insulation works by resisting heat flow in different directions. Because heat is a form of energy and always seeks to move to cooler areas within your home, insulation slows this heat flow, so your heating and cooling system will not have to work harder to maintain your desired indoor temperature, which saves you money on energy bills.
This is the insulation material’s ability to resist heat flow, often identified and branded by R-value, “R” meaning resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.
Different types of insulation are available in today’s Los Angeles home insulationmarketplace. For residential applications, we prefer cellulose and fiberglass batts because they are the most popular standard and common types of insulation.
Depending on several factors, such as your geographical location and R-value desire, we will advise you further after inspecting your home and the space to be insulated.
To prevent moisture from your insulated spaces, we will ensure the insulation’s vapor barrier faces toward the inside of your home. Otherwise, you might notice mold, peeling paint, and other signs of high humidity.
For maximum thermal and indoor air quality benefits, you should insulate your home’s attic, ceiling, floors, and walls.
If you are limited and need to prioritize, we will evaluate your entire home and advise you on the right areas to insulate based on our findings. If you are constructing a new home, check your energy report to understand which areas need to be insulated to meet Los Angeles home insulation standards.
