As they say, winter is coming. So before the winter comes, it is necessary to make arrangements to keep yourself warm. Now the basic question is why it is necessary to have insulation.
In cold areas, it is important to keep the surroundings warm to prevent oneself from getting chilled. The warm air in the house tends to flow towards the cold air outside during winter. So if the warm air moves out of the room, it would leave it cold, right. Well, this is why insulation is important. In the process of insulation, the warm air is trapped in the required place, keeping it warm during wintry nights.
If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly way to insulate your house, then green attic insulation is the right choice. In green attic insulation, the materials are biodegradable. Also, they don’t cause any form of greenhouse gas or carbon footprint.
The reasons why people are choosing green attic insulation are:
Unlike other insulation materials, the materials used in green attic insulation are quite feasible. Since they are readily available, it makes the price of these products comparatively cheaper. Also, green insulation materials like wool, cotton, cellulose and so on have low manufacturing costs. Apart from low manufacturing cost, the production of these materials uses very little/minimal energy. As a result, it reduces the chance of greenhouse gas.
The most common insulation foam materials are made from HFC (hydrofluorocarbon). It releases extruded polystyrene (XPS) and standard closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF). This material, when used for a longer period, results adversely in greenhouse gas. But in the green attic insulation we use cotton, Soybean-Based Spray Foam, Recycled Fiberglass, Cellulose etc. These materials are eco-friendly and don’t contribute to greenhouse gases.
Apart from being safe for greenhouse gas, it is also safe for you! Materials made from fiberglass, formaldehyde, hydrofluorocarbon, when used for the long term, can cause breathing or other problems. Many a time, people suffer from different allergies for using these materials for a long time.
It has been proved that eco-friendly materials not only save costs but are also energy efficient. Once you start using these green attic insulation materials, you can see the difference yourself. Another reason why more and more people are choosing our green attic insulation is it provides better insulation.
We at Eco Choice HVAC & Insulation have very clear policies when people choose our green attic insulation service. We always go for renewable and eco-friendly materials, making them safe for you as well as the environment.
Let’s have a look at the materials that we use for green attic insulation.
Since ages, cotton is one of the most common raw materials that are known for its eco-friendliness. Like previous times to prevent hot things from getting cold, people kept them between cotton slabs. In the modern world, we use cotton as green attic insulation material.
The cotton is made into fiber glasses, but it doesn’t produce formaldehyde gas, unlike normal fiberglass. Apart from keeping your room extremely warm, it is also a great insect repellant. Cotton insulation might be a bit costly, but we can assure you it is worth the price.
If you are looking for a long-term insulation material, then cellulose can be an excellent option. Cellulose is known for its quality to fit in, and as time passes by, it gives excellent insulation to your attic. This material is not only a sustainable option but also a non-toxic material.
In case of fire, you don’t have to worry as this material is highly fire-resistant. Also, it keeps insects away, so there’s no chance of damage by bugs and termites.
Few studies have proved that cellulose is often a better option than fiberglass in extremely chilly weather. The reason being the cellulose insulation’s R-value remains the same, while the R-value of the fiberglass insulation goes down.
Are you looking for superior quality yet eco-friendly insulation material? Then Soybean-Based Spray Foam is the right choice for you. This one might be a bit expensive, but it insulates your room to the next higher level.
Though with this, there’s a slight problem.
There are many varieties of this material; some are petrochemical-based and some are water-blown spray. Many might doubt it is eco-friendly due to the petrochemical variety. But recent studies have shown that the most efficient and environmentally friendly way is the water-blown spray foam.
Have you heard of the term Batts? If not, then this is the term commonly used for recycled fiberglass.
To make this recycled fiberglass, one needs recycled glasses. Which means the chance of using raw materials is comparatively low. Once you start using this material, the amount of energy consumption power goes down.
Also, it is a much preferable option as it is energy efficient. A proper installation is all that it needs to give you proper insulation.
The most crucial question is that why would you choose Eco Choice HVAC & Insulation?
