Polyurethane foam or spray foam insulation is a fantastic insulator with tremendous R-value. Acting as both an air barrier and moisture barrier, there is no better product on the market that will keep your home comfortable year round.<\/p>

Spray foam in impermeable to water as well, making it odorless and mold resistant if ever encountered by excess water.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Made from natural or recycled materials, mineral wool comes as both loose-fill material and batts.<\/p>

Most mineral wool is not fire resistant, making it less suited for areas with strong sources of heat. It is often used to supplement other forms of insulation, and can be very effective when used in large areas of Colorado homes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fiberglass insulation happens to be the most common form of insulation used in homes.\u00a0<\/p>

A tried-and-true choice for walls, attics, and floors, fiberglass insulation is non-flammable and has tremendous R-values.<\/p>

If you are seeking a relatively inexpensive form of insulation, fiberglass is the way to go.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
