Foam Insulation

The kind of foam insulation people can use is classified into two, the spray foam and the rigid foam boards. Spray foam comes in two variants, namely the open cell and closed cell and each comes with its distinctive advantages. Thus, in this case, due to its flexibility, we at United Seattle recommend the use of spray foam particularly in places with unconventional shapes, areas surrounding windows and doors and corners. The common areas where the rigid foam boards are applied are the foundation wall, basement wall, and exterior wall. Some of the benefits include:

• High R-value
• Proper Air Sealing
• Moisture Control
• Extra Strength

Cellulose Insulation

This kind of insulation is produced from recycled papers, with other newsprint processed into cellulose insulation and then chemically treated for fire resistance. The man said, "Cellulose is used in attics and walls it can be made of paper like that but stiffer." it can be pumped into walls and does not create much disruption; thus, it can be used in retrofit conditions common in most homes today. Some of the benefits include:

• Eco-Friendly
• Effective Air Barrier
• Soundproofing
• Pest Resistance
