How is insulation?

Answer 1

Well Depending on what the form of insulation is, the installation can be different. Typical fiberglass loose fill and paper backed insulation is what you usually see in homes, mostly pink but sometimes yellow and other colors depending on the manufacturer. Fiberglass insulation is easy to install by placing between the studs in a wall, paper side out, held in place by staples along the extended tab on the paper side. Loose fill is installed exactly how it sounds it would be, loosely packed in open holes, usually in attics and vent spaces in roofs to help with areas that are not able to be insulated with other products. But there are other forms of insulation still, like but not limited to; recycled newspaper that is blown into place by professionals using a blend of water, glue and fire retardant chemicals for safety, foam sealant insulation that is an epoxy rosin that expands and hardens over time to fill small gaps and holes in a structures exterior, and also Styrofoam board insulation that comes in different thicknesses and densities for stronger or lighter insulation as with all insulation that is stated by a reference number for the product designated the "R" Value for labeling use. I hope that this was helpful in answering your question.
