With the rising energy costs, has come a higher demand from homeowners to find ways to cut expenses. Replacing or adding one of the different types of insulation in Toronto residents have at their disposal may be one of the best ways to accomplish this task. Ensuring that a home is well insulated against the outside climate will aid in seeing that the warm air stays inside, while keeping the cold air out. Probably the best-known form of protection is rolled fiberglass padding. Typically, this material is several feet long and is fitted between the wood frames of a home. Once the padding is in place, then the sheetrock is nailed into the wooden walls, and the fiberglass padding will help to stop the cold exterior air from coming through the walls into the home. Another popular form of protection is to have loose fiberglass or cellulose padding blown in between the sheetrock and exterior walls. The fiberglass material is very similar to the rolled padding only it is in a loose form. While cellulose, is typically shredded newspapers that have been treated with a flame retardant substance. Cellulose has begun to gain some popularity; however, using the loose fiberglass is more readily blown, as it has a higher resistance to flames. Blown insulation is more popular in attics than the rolled padding. This is largely due to the fact that a professional is able to blown in the proper depth rather quickly. Many contractors will offer pricing that includes both the materials, as well as, installation for these jobs. This can cause the price to be significantly lower than that of the rolled material alone. Either type of insulation in Toronto uses may be beneficial in keeping energy costs down in a home. The important thing to make sure of is that it is installed properly. While the padding itself is an excellent way of ensuring a controlled temperature inside a dwelling, if there are flaws in the installation, the effectiveness can be hindered.
