Welcome to The Home Insulators of Bronxville

Bronxville is a historic city known for its wonderful and captivating Tudor, Shingle-style and Victorian homes. This makes the city a wonderful place to live with real traditional and style to the homes, but if there is one thing everyone knows about older buildings is their tendency to be susceptible to changes in temperature, getting cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Maintaining a modern level of comfort while enjoying the atmosphere of an older home doesn’t require spending money on expensive heating and cooling equipment. Insulation offers a far better alternative to increase your standard of living.

Insulation

Insulation can be installed all throughout the home, not just living areas, giving a range of benefits. All too often, especially in older homes, places where heat can be lost are overlooked. The attic is often the hottest part of the house in summer and the coldest part of the house in winter, meaning insulation is a must. As heat rises, good insulation for your attic makes a huge difference to the temperature of your house. Floors and basements can become sources of unwanted heat transfer, with an average of 15% of heat lost beneath your feet. This is also true for working spaces like garages. TheHomeInsulators.com is the best choice for insulation advice in the Bronxville area, thanks to our expertise on the best and most efficient forms of insulation to use in your home.

 

Insulation reduces the loss of heat in winter, and keeps heat out during summer months. It is all too true that much of the energy used warming and cooling our homes is unnecessarily lost, a waste of good money. Improved insulation may save you up to 40% on heating and cooling bills and is more environmentally friendly than simply cranking up the heat or the air to maintain the health and comfort of your family. Plus, insulation generally pays for itself through energy savings within four to six years.

Types of Insulation

There are a variety of different kinds of insulation available to choose from.

Classic blanket batts and rolls are made from materials like glass wool, polyester, natural wool or recycled paper, and they are often touted as inexpensive and easy for a DIY job. However, they don’t have the same levels of maximum thermal performance, or R-value, enjoyed by other forms of insulation. Blanket batts and rolls may even lose up to 50% effectiveness if they are incorrectly installed, and some forms are even associated with dust building causing health problems like lung cancer.

Meanwhile, another form of classic insulation is loose fill insulation, which consists of fluffy strains of fiber which is blown into attics and walls filling each nook and cranny, but this kind of insulation often loses effectiveness when it becomes extremely cold.

The best choice for insulating your home is spray foam insulation. It creates a complete air flow seal and serves as a more effective air and thermal barrier, as well as blocking outside noise and keeping pests from getting into your home. Spray foam insulation is installed by spraying the foam through a nozzle into wall cavities using specialized equipment. The spray foam quickly expands, filling every nook and cranny. You can both completely insulate your wall cavities as well as seal your walls against cold air and wind all in one simple step. In the past, only new homes could benefit from the advantages and convenience of spray foam insulation, however today more advanced varieties of non-expanding high R-value spray foam insulation can also be installed in older homes with pre-installed insulation, with no need to break holes or tear down your walls. This is perfect for many of the older homes in the Bronxville area.

Spray foam insulation can dramatically reduce your heating and cooling costs. It will absolutely not biodegrade, sag, settle or shrink over time, at least not for almost a century. Spray foam quickly pays for itself, and can even increase your home’s resale value.
