Fiberglass Batt Insulation in Columbus, Ohio

Fiberglass batts provide consistent quality and low dust. They are also easy to cut and fit to make for quicker installation in residential and commercial buildings’ wood and metal frame cavities. We install unfaced, Kraft and FSK batts for thermal and acoustical treatments to walls, ceilings and floors.

Injection Foam Insulation in Columbus, Ohio

Also called masonry foam, injection foam acts as both an insulating product and an air barrier. It has a consistency similar to shaving cream when it’s applied and hardens as it dries. The purpose of injection foam is to seal wall cavities and other enclosed spaces against air movement and heat transfer.

Injection foam isn’t prone to compressing, sagging or settling into the wall cavity over time. This makes it a long-lasting solution that continues to perform flawlessly after many years in use. Injection foam is most often used in new commercial buildings, including retail stores, churches and schools. It may also be suitable for some residential applications that feature concrete-block walls and foundations.

When applied to existing walls, a small section of siding is removed, if necessary, and small holes are drilled through the exterior. The foam is then injected, where it spreads from the origin point to fill in nooks and crannies in the wall cavity. When the installation is complete, the hole is patched to resemble the surrounding wall area.

Loose-Fill Cellulose & Fiberglass Insulation in Columbus, Ohio

Fiberglass and cellulose insulation are commonly used in the residential and commercial construction industry.

• Loose-fill, or blown-in, fiberglass insulation is one of the oldest types of insulation materials and has been used for many years. It can be installed in many areas of homes and buildings.
• Loose-fill cellulose insulation is one of the most environmentally friendly types of insulation available as it is made of up to 80% recycled material.

Spray Cellulose Insulation in Columbus, Ohio

Cellulose insulation is sprayed or blown into walls, conforms to your home and surrounds your family with a seamless insulation system. Wet spray, or spray-applied, cellulose is used for new construction wall insulation projects. This type of insulation creates an effective seal of the insulated cavity for protection against air infiltration. It can be installed in new homes, residential multi-family or apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.

Spray foam insulation is applied wet and expands into a thick foam. It can be installed in small cracks and crevices as well as hard-to-reach areas.

Spray foam is also one of the most effective types of insulation for helping reduce air infiltration.
