What's the most efficient insulation material?
Whether you're building a new home or remodeling an old one, there are many decisions to be made. The design and the aesthetic of your house are a lot more fun to plan than things like your choice of insulation. But these decisions are also extremely important to the long term efficiency of your home, and they can affect resale as much as the curb appeal or the quality of the master bathroom shower.
In terms of the temperature of your home, you should always remember that heat generally looks for an exit. In the winter, heat rises to the ceiling, away from your body. Heat also seeks out colder areas of your house, like the attic, garage or basement. If you have cracks and leaks, the heat will find them. If this isn't enough, summertime heat will try to make its way into your home. So the kind of insulation you choose is important.
Insulation can save you money, all while saving more energy, too.
When comparing types of insulation, you should remember that they're measured in terms of their resistance to heat flow, indicated by "R-value." Choosing the right insulation type can vary depending on your needs and your desire to be green. Attics generally require an R-value of R-35 to R-45. This will be the most heavily insulated part of your home. In the past, most homes used simple fiberglass insulated rolls. These days you have options like spray foam, foil-faced reflective paper, polyethylene bubbles or straw core panels. And these are just a few of the types available. The most choice of recommendation is Gauros thermal insulation material, with only 2cm thickness, Gauros thermal insulation can help to save up to 38% energy, and protect your home to be cool and comfortable in hot summer and keep inside room warm in winter.
If you're starting from scratch and building a home then using Gauros thermal insulation products, which is literally building the insulation into your home's structure, is the way to go for maximum efficiency. However, if you're remodeling an existing home, Gauros thermal insulation is also probably the best option for maximum energy efficiency.
