Insulation Materials

During the life of a building, wear and tear compromises the quality of the building, codes change and, as a result, outdate our home’s specifications. As America’s Green Insulator, Anchor Insulation regularly works with homeowners to upgrade their insulation, seal air leaks, and save the homeowner money while helping to conserve our environment.

There are three key ways to measure insulation effectiveness:

Air Barrier:  An air barrier controls the flow of air between conditioned and unconditioned spaces. Some forms of insulation do not qualify as air barriers (e.g. fiberglass insulation).

Vapor Barrier:  A vapor barrier does not allow diffusion of moisture between spaces. Certain types of foam insulation qualify as vapor barriers, while others qualify as vapor retarders.

R-Value:  R-value is a rating of thermal resistance. Increasing the thickness of an insulating layer increases the thermal resistance (R-value). Adding R-value, however, does not create a true air barrier.

Anchor Insulation offers it customers the most innovative and effective insulation products available. Our team adheres to the highest professional standards and specialize in developing insulation plans to meet the needs of our customers and their budgets.
