Homeowners shopping around for basement insulation in Windsor are primarily focused on making the basement functional and comfortable space. The idea is to make the basement family-friendly – and here, proper insulation is the first priority, regardless of how big the space.
A well-insulated basement does more than just make the space comfortable in winter and summer. Importantly, energy efficiency is enhanced, which means that energy consumption is reduced and utility bills are dramatically lessened (winter heating and summer cooling).
When it’s time to install basement insulation in Windsor, it’s worth doing a quality job, and going with a professional. Simply put, a professional installation delivers better long-term results than a DIY approach. With Great Northern Insulation, homeowners are assured of a job done right.
A properly insulated basement delivers a number of benefits overall. R-Values are high. Air leakage is eliminated. And air moisture is diminished. And with energy efficiency dramatically improved, the annual savings on heating and cooling can often pay down the original investment.
Prior to insulating, the basement should be assessed for water entry issues so that repair work can be expedited. Repairs and retrofits must be performed to code, as well as any insulation work. What’s most important is to seal the entire space to avoid any air and water leakage.
Most basements will have “awkward” spaces. These too should be sealed and insulated to ensure that newly installed insulation performs. This is where spray foam insulation has proven to be a very effective application – it seals and insulates better than any other product application.
Opting for a professional approach in the basement will make for better outcomes. As such, Great Northern Insulation has the experience and expertise to do it all from start to finish. GNI will recommend the best product and installation, based on the physical space and the budget.
Today, many professionals are suggesting spray foam insulation for the basement – it does more with a single application than anything comparable. It’s installs very high R-Values; it air-seals like no other product; and it prevents air moisture from accumulating (critical in the basement).
Given the exceptional product benefits of spray foam insulation, it remains a premium product in most applications. It therefore is not always suitable for every homeowner’s budget. And this is where Great Northern Insulation can recommend a “hybrid” installation – it’s a customized install where spray foam is combined with another, complimentary insulation product. This approach allows for excellent long-term outcomes and a very cost-effective investment.
