Grow Room Insulation
Why Insulate A Grow Room?
Insulation prevents the transfer of hot and cold temperatures which is important in a temperature controlled environment such as a grow room. Plants must be protected from blistering hot temperatures during summer and the freezing winter cold. Insulation helps establish a steady grow room temperature year round without having to overrun the heater or air conditioner.
If plants experience a cold temperature, they may flower prematurely. In an overly hot grow room, there is higher risk for excess moisture and mold growth. Insulation helps keep temperatures even keel and regulated, promoting a more stable environment for the grow room to flourish.
Which Areas Of My Grow Room Should I Insulate?
Heat rises within a grow room, so the ceiling is especially important to insulate as well as the walls. Additionally, insulation keeps any plant orders within the grow room as well as blocking out pests, drafts, moisture, mildew and exterior noises.
Wall insulation is especially important in regulating temperatures and also sealing off small gaps and cracks. Keeping a grow room sterile and clean is crucial. Insulation blocks pests, mold, moisture, mildew and pollutants from entering.
An insulated ceiling prevents heat from escaping the room, which in turn lowers energy payments.
What Is The Best Insulation Product For Grow Room Insulation?
Foam is generally the best product to insulate a grow room with. There are different types of foam, each with special benefits. Contact our certified technicians for a free assessment and discover the best insulation solution for your project!
The overall best insulation product to insulate a grow room with is closed cell spray foam. Closed cell spray creates an air sealed envelope allowing for total control over the humidity and temperature of the room.
This type of spray foam does not retain water which is especially important for preventing mold and mildew. Closed cell spray foam has an R-value of R-7 per inch.
Open cell spray foam has a high expansion rate which allows the product to easily cover all cracks and gaps. This product is also especially effective for sound deadening. The R-value of open cell spray foam is about 3.5 per inch.
Foam boards can be cut to fit the grow room and then caulked around the edges and gaps for complete coverage. The boards are water and mold resistant with an R-Value of about 4.7 per inch.

Shipping Container Insulation
/in UncategorizedShipping Container Insulation In Northern IL, Rockford, Chicago Suburbs & Southern WI
Why Insulate A Shipping Container?
Shipping containers have many uses: storage, offices, living quarters, greenhouses, sheds, pools and more! Insulating a shipping container is extremely beneficial for keeping a steady temperature year round. Insulation keeps the container cool in the summer and warm in winter. Additionally, the insulation deadens sound, which keeps the interior quiet and peaceful.
An insulated shipping container is also pest resistant as the insulation blocks off small cracks and gaps that bugs can crawl through. Finally, insulation prevents moisture in a shipping container which stops mold, mildew and structural damage.
What Is The Best Insulation Product For A Shipping Container?
As shipping containers have many uses and purposes, one insulation product may work for one use and not for another. Schedule a free assessment with our team of certified technicians and go over the best options for your project.
Spray foam is the most efficient, quick and easy way to insulate a shipping container. The insulation can be applied as thick as needed with an R-Value of about R-6 per inch. Spray foam is the perfect material for coating the corrugated shipping container walls without leaving any gaps.
Foam panels are another amazing option for insulating shipping containers. These panels have an R-Value of about R-5 and can be glued onto the walls of the shipping container or screwed onto an affixed flat bar.
The foam panels are available in many sizes and thicknesses. Schedule a free assessment and quote with our certified technicians in order to determine which panels are right for your project.
Fiberglass insulation is most commonly used in shipping containers which are utilized as a container office or home. The R-Value for fiberglass insulation is about R-13 per 3 1/2″ of thickness. Once the insulation is installed, the walls are then finished with a fiber compressed and factory primed cement board (HardiePanel®) or a fiberglass reinforced plastic plywood (FRP).

Rim Joist Insulation
/in UncategorizedRim Joist Insulation In Northern IL, Rockford, Chicago Suburbs & Southern WI
What Is A Rim Joist?
Joists are the main elements that create the frame of a home’s ceiling and floor. Generally, ceiling and floor joists are built out of engineered or 2x lumber. The joists are placed about 16 inches on center apart. The wood that wraps around the edge of the floor framing is called the rim joist or band joist. Looking at the outside of a home as it is being framed, the rim joist is the solid band of lumber spanning along the side of the floor frame.
The main purpose of a rim joist is to give stability and strength to the other floor joists. Floor joists are held into the rim joists by nails which prevent the boards from falling over to the side and tie the flooring system together. The rim joists keep the floor joists upright and level.
Why Are Rim Joists Important To Insulate?
Many homes are improperly insulated on the rim joists, allowing cold air around the foundation to easily enter the home. Insulating rim joists prevents drafts, cold temperatures, moisture, mold, pests and structural damages.
When a home has uninsulated rim joists, the only layer between the interior and exterior of the home is the housewrap, sheathing (which is only about 1/2 in – 3/4 in thick) and the siding. Rim joists are considered above grade and should be insulated to a minimum of R-20 in climate zones 5-8 and a minimum of R-13 in climate zones 1-4. Rim joist insulation is now required by most current building codes.
What Is The Best Product For Rim Joist Insulation?
The most common products used for rim joist insulation are foam board and spray foam. Each product has unique benefits and differs in cost. Read below to learn more and decide which product is best for your home. Also, feel free to contact our certified technicians for a free quote and assessment for your rim joist insulation. Call: (833) 244 -7283.
Spray foam is one of the most effective and easiest forms of insulation to install in a rim joist. The foam expands to cover the area, filling any cracks or gaps in the structure as well.
Spray foam creates an air seal which blocks out drafts, pests and moisture. Finally, spray foam boats extremely high R-Values (the measure of an insulation product’s effectiveness) with closed cell spray foam at R-7 per inch and open cell spray foam at R-3.8 per inch.
Foam boards can be cut in order to fit snugly in place as rim joist insulation.
The edges must then be lined with caulk and any bigger gaps insulated with expanding foam.
The R-Value of foam boards is about 4.7 per inch.
Fiberglass can be used to insulate rim joists and has an R-Value of about 2.2 to 2.7 per inch. The downside of fiberglass is that it may retain moisture and harbor the growth of mold.
Some building codes may not allow fiberglass insulation. Therefore, insulating rim joists with foam is the best option.

Mobile Home Insulation
/in UncategorizedMobile Home Insulation In Northern IL, Rockford, Chicago Suburbs & Southern WI
Why Insulate A Mobile Home?
The walls of a mobile home are incredibly thin, allowing hot or cold temperatures to become easily transferred between the inside and outside of the home. Adding insulation to a mobile home increases comfort, keeps cooler temperatures in summer, warmer temperatures in winter, prevents mold or mildew, reduces moisture and blocks out pests.
Insulating the crawlspace of a mobile home prevents frozen pipes, keeps floors warmer and prevents cool drafts from entering the home. Most importantly, insulating the attic prevents warm air from rising up and escaping during winter, keeping the interior feeling cozy and preventing the HVAC from overworking.
Which Areas Of My Mobile Home Should I Insulate?
A mobile home has many areas which are susceptible to energy loss, luckily adding insulation helps protect the home and lowers costly energy payments. The following chart describes the most crucial areas of the mobile home to insulate and why each area is important.
Hot air always rises to the top level of a structure and without proper insulation, the warm air quickly seeps out of the home. In mobile homes with a drop ceiling, the ceiling panels can be removed and insulation can be applied to the attic. For cathedral ceilings, small access holes can be cut and re-patched after the insulation is installed.
Doors must be air sealed, caulked and weather stripped in order to prevent drafts and air leakage. Storm doors and draft stoppers can also be added.
Storm windows must be added for the most effective insulation protection. Also, the windows must be weather stripped and sealed.
Insulating the crawlspace or underbelly of a trailer is extremely important in protecting a mobile home’s pipes from bursting as well as blocking out drafts and pests. Also, the skirting under the mobile home must be insulated for added protection.
What Is The Best Insulation Product For Mobile Homes?
The walls of mobile homes can be retrofitted with loose-fill blown-in insulation or injection foam. The attic, crawlspace and skirting may be insulated with batts and rolls. New construction walls may be insulated with batts and rolls as well.
Spray foam is one of the most effective and easiest forms of insulation to install in a mobile home. The foam can be injected within existing walls of the mobile home through small holes, allowing the structure to be retrofitted without having to tear down any walls. The injection holes are the covered and patched up to blend in.
Spray foam creates an air seal which blocks out drafts, pests and moisture. Finally, spray foam boats extremely high R-Values (the measure of an insulation product’s effectiveness) with closed cell spray foam at R-7 per inch and open cell spray foam at R-3.8 per inch.
Fiberglass rolls or batts can be installed in the roof or crawlspace of the mobile home. The walls can be retrofitted with blown-in loose fill fiberglass which is sprayed through small holes in the wall which are then re-patched. The roof can also be insulated with loose-fill fiberglass insulation spray.
Rockwool insulation is available in loose-fill, batts or rolls. Roofs may be insulated with any three of these options. Pre-existing walls can be blown-in with loose-fill rockwool insulation. New construction walls are able to be insulated with batts and rolls. Rockwool insulation batts or rolls may also be used on the skirting and crawlspace of the mobile home.
Loose-fill cellulose is blown-in through small holes in existing walls and also used in the attic of the mobile home.

The Benefit Of Installing Solar Power Attic Vents
/in UncategorizedSolar Powered Attic Vents In Northern IL & Southern WI
What Are Solar Attic Vents?
Save up to 50% on your energy payments year round by installing solar attic vents in your home. During summer, these vents draw out the superheated air from inside the attic and replace it with cooler outdoor air. Solar attic vents are especially important during winter as they constantly exchange attic air which prevents moisture build up and excess heat. Additionally, installing a solar attic vent may qualify the homeowner for a Federal Solar Tax Energy Credit.
What Are The Benefits Of Solar Powered Attic Vents?
Solar attic vents work year round to save homeowners money and also protect the attic from moisture, mold, mildew, wood rot, ice dams and structural damages. In a home without solar attic vents, warm air rises to the attic and comes into contact with the cold underside of the roof which forms condensation. This condensation begins to form puddles in the attic which then seep down into the ceiling of the room below.
Mold may begin to form and blow through the home whenever the HVAC is running, causing the inhabitants to become sick. Also, the excess moisture buildup in the attic may cause wood rot and damages to the ceiling underneath. Once structural damages occur, the surrounding wood and drywall may need to be replaced and repainted.
Furthermore, when an attic is not properly vented icicles and ice dams begin to form on the eaves of the roof. Ice dams are formed when hot air rising in the unvented attic heats the snow on top of roof, which then trickles down to the gutters and freezes. Overtime large ice dams form, causing unsafe icicles and may even rip the gutters off the home.
Mold may begin to form and blow through the home whenever the HVAC is running, causing the inhabitants to become sick. Also, the excess moisture buildup in the attic may cause wood rot and damages to the ceiling underneath. Once structural damages occur, the surrounding wood and drywall may need to be replaced and repainted.
By properly venting an attic with solar vents, the home is healthier, protected from structural damages, moisture or mold is prevented and energy savings are established.
Solar powered attic vents keep a home cooler in summer by extracting superheated air from inside the attic and replacing it with cooler outdoor air. By keep the attic’s temperature down, less energy is needed to air condition the house, which saves money and extends the lifespan of the air conditioner.
After installing solar attic vents, the amount of natural resources used to cool the home is reduced and homeowners save up to 50% on their energy payments.
How Many Solar Attic Vents Does A Home Need?
On average, installing two solar powered attic vents ensures adequate fresh air distribution throughout the entire attic, although larger homes may need more vents. For those living in a “Tiny Home” or other small living establishment, only one solar attic vent may be necessary.
Give us a call at 1 (833) 244-7283 and receive a free energy assessment, consultation and quote. Learn how Solar Attic Vents can save you up to 50% on your energy payments and protect your home.

Retrofit Insulation
/in UncategorizedRetrofit Insulation In Northern IL, Rockford, Chicago Suburbs & Southern WI
Retrofit insulation is the process of adding insulation to an already insulated building when the existing insulation has lost it’s R-Value or effective insulating properties. Insulation is inserted into the walls through small holes drilled one yard above the floor and one foot below the ceiling. An insulation blower machine or spray foam machine is used to fill the walls with spray foam or any type of loose fill material such as rockwool, fiberglass, cellulose or denim.
After the walls have been retrofitted with insulation, a small plastic cap is inserted into the hole and the area is skim coated and repainted to match the wall. Exterior walls of the home may be filled by removing pieces of the siding and then covering the area.

What Are The Benefits Of Retrofit Insulation?
When retrofit insulation is added to existing walls, the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The newly packed retrofitted insulated walls block drafts, pests, moisture and deaden sound.
Less utilities are needed to heat or cool the building which lowers energy payments, preserves natural resources and reduces the owner’s carbon footprint.
Once retrofit insulation is added to walls, the sound difference is instantly noticeable. The sound of outdoor traffic, storms, wind or dogs barking is reduced and the indoor atmosphere is much more peaceful.
Retrofit insulation absorbs sound waves from outdoor noise and also from between interior rooms. Retrofitting the interior walls of a home office is an amazing way to have a quiet workplace which is undisturbed by the ongoing activities within the home.
Insulation prevents moisture buildup inside of walls which occurs due to air leakage and drafts. When cold outside air leaks through a wall and comes into contact with the warm interior, condensation is formed. This moisture can progress into mold, mildew, wood rot, structural damage and drywall deterioration.
By adding retrofit insulation the walls, air leakage and drafts are blocked. Condensation is unable to form and the inside of the walls are protected.
Retrofit insulation provides immediate comfort for homeowners and business owners. Instead of wearing thick layers all winter to stay warm, the building immediately retains heat more effectively and all drafts are blocked. Enjoy the winter season in comfort and stay cozy without having to overdress in multiple layers.
Comfort is enhanced during the summer season through retrofit insulation which prevents the transfer of the outside heat from entering the building. Experience a cooler environment without having to run the air conditioning constantly while also saving on energy payments.
What is the cost of retrofit insulation?
Spray injection foam provides an air seal and may be able to reach parts of the inside wall unreachable by a loose-fill blow-in product. Spray foam is higher in cost due to it’s special capabilities which may not be the best option for a home owner on a budget. However, a fiberglass loose-fill is a very affordable product and can offer comfort, moisture control and sound dampening at a much lower cost.
