Our company was created in order to help our community become more energy efficient through the use of insulation. During almost every home energy assessment our company has conducted, at least one room in the home is losing energy due to inadequate insulation levels.
Air leakage within the home causes homeowner’s to use about 50% more energy to heat or cool the home, averaging an additional cost of about $100-$200 per month. Insulation reduces your carbon footprint and preserves the use of natural resources used to heat or cool a building. By insulating, air sealing and ventilating your home, Comfort 1st Insulation helps our community save money on energy payments while also protecting the environment.

Comfort 1st Insulation provides expert spray foam insulation services in Roscoe, IL, which is the best product for attic insulation. Spray foam not only provides an air seal but also has one of the highest R-Values available on the market (5.0 – 7.0 per inch). Insulating an attic with spray foam strengthens the adjacent walls and deadens sound. This type of insulation is durable, long lasting and can be used for residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial applications.
Fiberglass insulation is also an effective product for attic insulation. Fiberglass has an R-Value of about 2.2 – 2.7 per inch and is also one of the most affordable insulation products for those who are on a tight budget. Fiberglass can be installed in batts or as a loose-fill. The benefit of loose-fill is that insulation can be added to existing walls by drilling small holes in the wall and blowing in the loose-fill fiberglass with an insulation blower machine. The holes are than covered and blended back into the walls. This process is called retro-fit insulation. Fiberglass batts can easy be installed in between the joists in the attic ceiling and the walls.

K13 is a spray on insulation used for thermal and noise control which is applied to ceilings as an exposed finish. This spray is used to create a comfortable sound controlled environment in offices, bars, restaurants and event venues.
K13 thermal insulation spray is created from cellulose materials which are used to reduce noise levels and absorb sound. This versatile product can be applied on many surfaces and is useful in reducing noise in offices, music venues, restaurants or metal roofs.
Spraying fire resistant K13 insulation on the ceiling of a building increases safety. K13 thermal insulation is fire class 0 meaning that it decreases the heat release and prevents the spread of flames on surfaces.
This green form of insulation is composed of recyclable materials such as cotton and wood. Applying K13 offers many esthetic benefits and can compliment any color scheme as the spray is offered in a variety of different colors.
K13 spray can be applied 5 inches thick and has an R-Value of 3.75 per inch. This versatile spray can be applied to almost any surface shape such as domed, curved and corrugated. One of the many benefits of this spray is that it fills in gaps, cracks, creates an air seal, stops air leakage, condensation and moisture. Another amazing quality about K13 is that it adheres to metal, glass, gypsum, wood, concrete, and plasterboard.
Blown-in insulation is a loose-fill product that is installed with a blower machine. This type of insulation can be beneficial for small attics which do not have enough room for a technician to climb inside of and install batt insulation. Instead, blown-in insulation only needs a small access point and can be blown in with a machine.
Another amazing benefit of loose-fill insulation is that it can be installed in already existing walls, which is called retrofitting. A small hole is drilled into the wall one foot below the ceiling and another one yard above the floor. The insulation is then blown in, covering the entire inside area of the wall. Once finished, a plastic cap is put over the hole and the area is skim-coated and painted to match the wall.
Blown-in insulation is available in rockwool, fiberglass and cellulose. Each product has many different uses and benefits and one of our certified technicians can help you decide which product is best for you. This form of insulation can be installed quickly, providing immediate comfort and reducing energy payments.
Cellulose Insulation: Cellulose is our most environmentally friendly product since it’s made of up to 85% recycled material and takes significantly less energy to create than other insulation materials.
Rockwool is the recreation of a naturally occurring material found in Hawaii. The material was found next to volcanos after an eruption since the high winds would blow the molten rock, forming thin rock strings which were then discovered hanging on the nearby trees.
Rockwool insulation is produced liquifying rocks at high temperatures and spinning the liquid at a high speed to form thin fiber strings. This form of insulation boats an R-Value of 3.0-R to 3.3-R per inch.
Rockwool insulation has many important benefits like preventing fire, as the product is non-combustible and made out of rock. This product is extremely effective as a noise barrier, which muffles and absorbs sound waves. Rockwool can be installed as a blown-in loose-fill or in batts.
This form of insulation is sustainable, as it is composed of rocks which are a naturally occurring material. Also, rockwool insulation has an extremely long lifespan and lasts for the the lifetime of the building. Finally, the insulation is water repellant which prevents mold and mildew.
Spray Foam Insulation: Comfort 1st offers spray foam insulation installation in Roscoe. Spray foam (blown-in), or polyurethane, a wet insulation that expands into thick foam (like shaving cream) and best for crevices, cracks, and areas that are difficult to reach. It also can help reduce air infiltration. Spray foam can be used for attics, walls, roofs and ceiling insulation.
The Blown-In Blanket (BIBS) system method of insulation keeps loose-fill insulation firmly in place between wall studs with a mesh netting. The netting is nailed into the studs and small holes are made in the netting.
The insulation blower is inserted through the netting holes and blows the loose-fill behind the netting, perfectly insulating around ductwork, pipes, and electrical boxes without any air pockets.
One important benefit of blown-in blanket systems is that the insulation is firmly packed in place, without the ability to settle over time or form air gaps. This method of insulation is highly effective for sound dampening, preventing mold, pests, drafts, pollens, and moisture.
Blown-in blanket systems have an R-Value of about R-4.23 per inch. The materials are also mold resistant, non-combustible, and created from recycled materials.
Radiant Barrier Insulation: Radiant barrier is a reflective insulation material which is typically installed next to the underside of the roof. This helps reduce the cost of cooling via reflection.
Sonoglass thermal insulation spray is effectively applied in a thin single layer and provides an acoustic treatment for venues, churches, gymnasiums and theaters. It adheres almost all surface shapes such as curved, irregular, domed or flat.
While providing thermal insulation benefits, sonoglass most importantly reduces noise levels, creating a comfortable environment for noisy venues, performances, audiences and sports games.
One major benefit of sonoglass spray is the ability to apply it in a very thin layer which saves time and money, while still providing sound control and thermal protection. Also, the applied finish of the spray is polished, smooth and even, making sonoglass an esthetically appealing insulation spray.
This mold resistant spray boats an R-Value of R-3.733 per inch and is created from recycled materials. Sonoglass is rated flame-spread 0, non-combustible, available in various colors and adheres to almost all surface types.
Monoglass insulation spay is effective for application in difficult to reach areas and is created from a mixture of soft glass fibers and polymers. The spray can be applied 7 inches thick on vertical surfaces and 5 inches thick on horizontal surfaces.
An amazing benefit of monoglass spray is that it adheres to almost any surface such as glass, concrete, gypsum, wood, fireproofing, steel and more. Vertical spray applications have an R-Value of R-28 and overhead applications have an R-Value of R-20.
One important quality of monoglass insulation is that it is mold resistant and is an effective in insulation for indoor pools or areas with high humidity. The spray offers high R-Values while also reducing noise levels. Monoglass spray can be applied in one swipe and expands to the desired size without need for any additional layers. When being applied to fireproofing, the fire ratings do not change as monoglass is non-combustible.
Monoglass spray is non-combustible, non-toxic, flame spread 0 and smoke development 0. It boasts a Noise Reduction Coefficent of .95, meaning that 95% of sound waves are absorbed, while the last 5% are deflected. Created from partially recycled materials, monoglass can be considered a green form of insulation.
Air sealing is a cost-effective way to cut home energy costs by closing gaps which prevents air leakage— leading to a comfortable and healthy home. To put in perspective, every leak, gap and hole within a home, on average, equivocates to leaving a window open every day … all year.
Our certified technicians first remove any soiled debris with an insulation vacuum. The mold is then removed and sanitized with the industrial strength cleaner.

Just like any other part of your home, insulation requires special attention. Animals leave waste and odors that lead to the deterioration of the insulation in the attic.

Insulation has many important qualities, one of which is sound deadening. The main difference between sound proofing and sound deadening is that sound proofing blocks out all sound, while sound deadening muffles and reduces noise.
Sound deadening is achieved by installing a specialized insulation product and sound proofing can be accomplished by adding additional materials such as acoustic foam on walls. Sound deadening diminishes noises from barking dogs, passing cars, neighbors and noise between interior rooms.
Specialized insulation for sound deadening is available in rockwool, open cell spray foam, fiberglass and denim. Each products offers different benefits and various Sound Transmission Classes.
STC or Sound Transmission Class is a rating which measures a product’s capability to diminish noise between windows, floors, walls, ceilings and doors. Hiring a technician with the knowledge and understanding of STC levels is key in determining the correct insulation needed for each project.

Firstly, having insulation in your garage means that it will stay much warmer during the cold winter months here in Illinois. Having an insulated garage year-round gives you more time to enjoy your home comfortably. Secondly, insulation in your garage can help prevent pipes and shared ceilings from bursting and becoming damaged.

Spray foam roofing, also called Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing, is a liquid spray which expands into a foam and can be applied to cover a roof. Before spray foam is applied to a roof, the existing roof must first be repaired if there are any defects. Then the spray foam coating is applied, creating a seamless waterproof seal.
SPF roofing is created from a combination of two chemicals: isocyanate and polyol resin. The chemicals are pumped from separate containers and combined within a mixing spray machine for application.
Basement insulation is important to install as it prevents pests, blocks drafts, creates warmer floors in winter, lowers utility payments and creates a steady temperature year round.
An uninsulated basement lets in moisture, mold, cold energy, drafts, pests and mildew. Once the basement is properly insulated, cold temperatures are blocked from ever entering the the structure, which creates a comfortable living environment from the ground floor up.
Basement insulation has many benefits such as creating warmer home temperatures, reducing moisture, and blocking out pests. Insulated basements also provide warmer floors in the winter and cooler floors in the summer.
An insulated basement prevents health problems caused from mold, moisture and mildew. Insulation stops mold growth by sealing any cracks or holes in the structure in which moisture could seep through.
Once insulated, the basement helps maintain a stable consistent home temperature year round. Also, an insulated basement can be used for storage, another bedroom, an office or workout room. Basement insulation improved property value and makes the home more appealing to potential buyers.

Ice dams are commonly noticed as large icicles hanging from their eaves (edges of your roof) caused by a lack of proper insulation. Heat rises to the attic which melts the ice, causing it to trickle down to the eaves and refreeze which leads to buildups.

Comfort 1st Insulation provides expert multifamily building insulation services for new construction and retrofits existing buildings. Choosing to insulate a multifamily building is an important decision that improves the welfare and comfort of the tenants as well as lowering their energy payments.
Multifamily insulation provides sound control which is extremely important for the peace of tenants. A tenant may move out or stop paying rent if their unit is too noisy, which makes proper insulation absolutely essential.
Insulation is also one of the best ways to keep out moisture, mold, drafts, and pests. Any holes or cracks in the walls are covered and blocked by the insulation which improves the health of tenants and keeps out pollutants and pests.
Finally, multifamily insulation protects the owner’s investment. By adding adequate insulation, the building is protected from any structural damages that can result from moisture, pests, or mold.
Multifamily building insulation keeps tenants comfortable, reduces energy payments, muffles noises, increases comfort and prevents pests. Insulation improves property value and increases the quality of the rental units.
Insulating a multifamily building protects the investment, as insulation prevents mold and moisture, which cause structural damage.
Most importantly, insulation keeps tenants healthy by preventing airborne pollutants, drafts, mold and mildew, which could lead to health issues. The happier the tenants, the more likely they are going to continue to rent and even refer friends or family to the multifamily building complex.
