Why Does The Installation Matter As Much As The Insulation Material?
Insulation installation quality matters because even a strong product can underperform if it is poorly fitted, compressed, unsupported or interrupted by gaps. Click the link above to read more.
What Happens When Insulation Is Compressed?
Compressed insulation can provide less thermal resistance because the material no longer retains the depth and form intended for the installation. Click the link above to read more.
Why Does Insulation Need To Be Continuous?
Continuous insulation helps create a connected thermal layer around the heated part of a home, reducing weak areas at gaps, edges and junctions. Click the link above to read more.
Why Can Good Insulation Still Perform Badly?
Good insulation can still perform badly if gaps, compression, poor fitting or weak junctions reduce the continuity of the thermal layer. Click the link above to read more.
