Building a Home? Opt for Insulation!

When people have custom homes built, they often get caught up in the big details—how many bedrooms they want, whether to have carpet or hardwood flooring, and more. While planning how you want your home to look can be fun, it’s also important to give some serious thought to the minor details since these can have a major impact on your home. You need to pay particular attention to any small details that are capable of making your home more energy efficient. Insulation is one such detail. When you insulate your home, you can keep it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, thereby cutting back on energy usage and, of course, on energy costs.

While there are many types of insulation that can be used in custom homes, spray foam insulation has become very popular in recent years. This special type of insulation not only reduces energy costs, but it can also work as a sound barrier and keep bugs and rodents from invading your home.
