Insulation 175


Insulation


The first consideration in determining the correct insulation for your home is the type of space the insulation will fill. Different forms of insulation can be used in conjunction with each other and will mostly likely be installed throughout your home.

Roll insulation can be used with loose-fill insulation. In general, there is only one rule to follow when combining forms of insulation; material of higher density should be placed below material of lower density. If higher density insulation is placed on top, the thickness of the insulation underneath will be reduced.

Although choosing the correct insulation can be complicated, all insulations work. In specific situations, some just work better than others. Building homes has become more complicated over the last 20 years and insulation is more of a consideration than it has ever been.
