INSULATION

SBS Energy Improvement brings over 10 years of industry experience to every insulation project, delivering expert solutions with a focus on superior craftsmanship and long-lasting results.

Our team of trained professionals uses top-quality materials and advanced insulation techniques to enhance your property's comfort and energy efficiency. By tailoring our approach to your specific needs, we ensure precise installation that reduces energy costs and maintains an ideal indoor temperature year-round.

Selecting the right insulation is key to achieving optimal energy efficiency, comfort, and savings. Each insulation type offers unique features and advantages for different applications. Here's a detailed overview of the most common insulation options we provide:

DIFFERENT TYPES OF INSULATION

Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is a versatile, high-performance material that is applied as a liquid and expands to form a solid, airtight seal.

Features:

  • Open-Cell Spray Foam: Lightweight and flexible, ideal for interior spaces like walls and ceilings where soundproofing is also a goal.

  • Closed-Cell Spray Foam: Denser and more rigid, offering higher thermal resistance and acting as a moisture barrier.

Benefits:

  • Creates an airtight seal that reduces air leaks and drafts.

  • Provides excellent thermal resistance (high R-value).

  • Acts as a moisture barrier, preventing mold and mildew.

  • Suitable for hard-to-reach spaces, gaps, and irregular surfaces.

Best For:

  • Attics, crawl spaces, basements, and walls.

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass is one of the most widely used insulation materials, available in batts, rolls, or loose-fill forms.

Features:

  • Made from tiny glass fibers woven into flexible mats or loose-fill.

  • Available in different thicknesses to suit various applications.

Benefits:

  • Cost-effective and readily available.

  • Non-combustible and resistant to moisture damage.

  • Provides reliable thermal and acoustic insulation.

Best For:

  • Attics, walls, floors, and ceilings in standard-sized spaces.

Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose is an eco-friendly insulation option made from recycled paper treated with fire retardants.

Features:

  • Installed as loose-fill material, either blown into spaces or dense pack.

  • Treated with borates for fire resistance and pest control.

Benefits:

  • Excellent thermal resistance and air-sealing properties.

  • Reduces noise and provides effective soundproofing.

  • Environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Best For:

  • Attics, walls, retro-fitting and hard-to-reach areas.

INSULATION INSTALLATION PROCESS

Installing insulation is a critical process that helps improve your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and noise control.

1. Assessment and Planning

Before any installation begins, our team conducts a thorough assessment of your home. We evaluate:

  • Existing insulation (if any)

  • Areas where heat loss or air leaks occur (e.g., attics, walls, basements)

  • The type of insulation material best suited to your property and goals (spray foam, fiberglass, or cellulose).

We create a customized insulation plan to maximize energy savings and comfort while adhering to local building codes.

2. Preparation of the Space

Preparation ensures a clean and efficient installation process:

  • Existing insulation, if damaged or insufficient, is carefully removed.

  • Any structural repairs or sealing of air leaks are completed to ensure a strong base for insulation.

  • The area is cleaned to remove debris or contaminants that might interfere with proper insulation placement.

3. Installation of Insulation

The chosen insulation material is installed following industry best practices:

Spray Foam Insulation

  • Applied using specialized equipment, spray foam expands to fill gaps, cracks, and cavities.

  • This creates a seamless barrier that prevents air leakage and provides superior thermal resistance.

Fiberglass Insulation

  • Fiberglass batts or rolls are cut to fit snugly between wall studs, floor joists, or attic beams.

  • Care is taken to ensure no gaps are left that might reduce effectiveness.

Cellulose Insulation

  • Blown-in cellulose is applied using a machine that evenly distributes the material in walls, attics, or tight spaces.

  • It conforms to irregular shapes, offering excellent coverage and insulation.

4. Final Inspection and Cleanup

  • After installation, we inspect the work to ensure there are no missed spots or loose areas.

  • We verify that the insulation meets the desired R-value.

  • The site is cleaned thoroughly, we leave your home how we would like ours to be treated.

5. Post-Installation Benefits

Once the insulation is in place, most customers experience immediate benefits which can include but not limited to:

  • Lower energy bills due to reduced heating and cooling needs.

  • Improved indoor comfort with consistent temperatures year-round.

  • Reduced noise thanks to sound-dampening properties of the insulation.

  • SBS and the team did a phenomenal job. They were able to seal off the first floor from the second floor the way we wanted with closed cell. As well as insulate & and sound proof the second floor. The team is very very very clean. They take all the precautionary measures to avoid any over spray and keep you informed with everything. Did I say they are very very clean? Thank you SBS & the team you guys are great!

  • Very professional from quote to finish. Responsive to any of my concerns in a timely manner. Workers on site were top notch. They arrived on time, were polite, respectful of my home and paid great attention to detail and ensured I was happy with the job performed. Pricing was competitive with other quotes I had received but not the lowest. I ultimately chose SBS Energy Improvement because of their length of time in operation, their professionalism and the reputation they had earned with customers I had spoken to.
