FIBERGLASS

While fiberglass is not as efficient an insulation as sprayfoam, it can still make a difference when properly installed.

you pay for your insulation whether you have it or not

see how fiberglass stacks up to newer options

The old way of thinking about fiberglass needs to be undone. Although R-value is important, the value we think we need to do the job of insulating is inaccurate. The scale of R-values is high because the loss of performance we experience when we need it most. We do not realize the fluctuation in performance of other insulation products. You do not need as much foam as you need fiberglass to reach the appropriate R-value to insulate your home from the outdoor elements (temperature, wind, moisture and radiant heat).

understand your options

Air leakage is not an issue that some insulation manufactures like to bring up. The reason for this is that air leakage can dramatically affect the R-value of certain insulations. The R-value measures a material’s thermal resistance ability but does not account for air leakage.

Products can have a stated R-value in an ideal environment, but when an air leakage is created that R-value can be radically reduced. What this means for the consumer in reality is that the product manufactures labeled R-value may not be anywhere near accurate.

WE WANT THE BEST FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
Sprayfoam is much more affordable than you think, and you can recoup your investment in a very short amount of time. You can calculate a rough estimate to see how much your project may cost.

If you do determine that sprayfoam is not the answer to your insulation needs, we do still install fiberglass batt insulation. Our experienced technicians are ready to talk to you about your options, and can help you figure out a solution that fits your unique needs. You can email us at Jag@JagSprayfoam.com or call us directly at (585) 621-7040.

EFFECTIVE R-VALUES FOR FIBERGLASS BATT INSULATION

The American Society of Heating Refrigeration Air Conditioning Engineers or (ASHRAE) did a fiberglass insulation study of the before and after installation comparison between the manufacturers stated R-value and what the consumer really receives. Even with perfectly installed fiberglass the actual effective R-value is substantially lower than what the manufacture stated.
