Below is a list of common insulation materials used in residential and commercial construction. We’ve compiled the following information to help you make informed decisions about the type of insulation that is best for your home.
Polyurethane Foam
Closed cell polyurethane foam is the best insulation material available in the construction industry today (R-6.8 / in) It is has been recognized by all that have used it for creating a comfortable indoor environment that is energy efficient; it is a superior product that provides long-lasting comfort and savings for eco-centric homeowners.
Polyurethane foam is the best product on the market for insulating your home, stopping air leaks and increasing the structural integrity of your home. Being closed cell and structural, it restricts moisture transmission, improves sound barriers, is resistant to mold and provides a seamless barrier of protection for superior resistance to air infiltration.

Cellulose
Cellulose is a great product for sound-proofing your home, reducing your energy bills and ensuring the quality of the air inside your home.
Cellulose is a strictly green insulation material; it is a recycled paper product that is treated with non-toxic fire retardants and fungicides. Wet-sprayed between studs, the insulating quality and performance level is equivalent to open-cell foam or styrene board. Cellulose is an excellent sound-deadening material and has a strong resistance to air infiltration as it easily fills hard to insulate places around electrical outlets, windows, doors and joints.

Fiberglass
Fiberglass insulation is one of the cheapest ways to insulate your home, but ends up costing you more in the long run.
Fiberglass insulation is the poorest performing insulation used in the construction industry today. It is an inefficient barrier against air infiltration as it is difficult to install without gaps. Even little gaps in insulation here and there can add up to a huge energy loss equivalent to leaving your front door open year round. Fiberglass insulation also is the lowest performer in terms of R-factor per inch.
In an effort to provide our clients with effective and efficient green insulation, we do not install fiberglass insulation in Albuquerque.
