Wall Insulation Pensacola
A wall is reachable once, while it is open. After drywall goes on, that cavity is closed for the life of the building.
Open Cell or Closed Cell
Open cell fills the cavity completely and air seals it, which makes it the usual answer for interior and standard exterior walls. Closed cell gives a higher R-value per inch, adds rigidity to the assembly and acts as a vapour retarder at thickness. On the coast, closed cell earns its place more often than it does inland, particularly on exposed elevations and in anything built to take weather.
New Builds, Additions and Gut Renovations
These are the three moments the cavity is open. We work to the framing schedule rather than the other way round, and the written scope names the product, the thickness and exactly which cavities are covered. Call (850) 203-2258.
Questions
Common questions
Can you insulate walls without removing drywall?
Dense-pack through small access holes works in some assemblies. We look at the wall first, because it depends what is already in the cavity.
Does wall insulation help with noise?
It helps, open cell especially. A wall built specifically for sound uses a different assembly.
Is closed cell worth the extra on a coastal house?
Often yes on exposed walls, because of what it does for vapour and rigidity as well as R-value.
