What Type Of Insulation Should I Use?

Welcome to Insulation Pros, your trusted source for insulation solutions. Choosing the right insulation for your unique needs is a critical decision that can impact your comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term savings. 


It is our goal to help you understand the various types of insulation available and provide guidance on selecting the best insulation based on your specific situation.

Understanding Your Insulation Needs

Assessing Your Situation

To determine the most suitable insulation type, it's essential to assess your specific situation. Consider factors such as your geographic location, building type, budget, and energy efficiency goals. By understanding your needs, you can make a more informed decision.

The Role of Insulation

Insulation plays a crucial role in regulating indoor temperatures and reducing energy consumption. It acts as a barrier against heat transfer, keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Proper insulation is key to maintaining comfort and maximizing energy efficiency.

Types of Insulation

When you choose Insulation Pros, you're choosing reliability, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence. Our team is proud to serve the Kansas City Area and have been doing so for many years.

We believe in transparency and want you to have all the information you need to make informed decisions about your home's insulation.


Here's a look at some of the insulation types we offer that you may need.

  • Fiberglass Insulation

    Fiberglass insulation is a popular choice known for its affordability and thermal resistance. It consists of fine glass fibers and is widely used in attics, walls, and floors. While cost-effective, fiberglass insulation may require careful installation to avoid gaps.

  • Cellulose Insulation

    Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper products treated for fire resistance. It offers excellent thermal performance and is known for its sound-absorbing properties. Cellulose is an environmentally friendly option, making it a sustainable choice.

  • Spray Foam Insulation

    Spray foam insulation is a versatile option that provides excellent air sealing properties. It expands to fill gaps and crevices, creating a tight thermal barrier. While highly effective, it may have higher upfront costs and requires professional installation.

  • Foam Board Insulation

    Foam board insulation comes in rigid panels made from various materials like polystyrene or polyurethane. It's suitable for applications such as exterior sheathing, under slab insulation, and interior insulation. Foam board provides a reliable thermal barrier.

  • Reflective and Radiant Barrier Insulation

    Reflective and radiant barrier insulation reflects heat away from your home. It's particularly effective in hot climates and under roofing systems. This type of insulation can help reduce cooling costs during the summer.

  • Blown-In Insulation

    Blown-in insulation, available in fiberglass or cellulose, is ideal for insulating attics, walls, and hard-to-reach spaces. It's installed by blowing loose-fill insulation material into the designated areas, ensuring effective coverage.

Choosing the Right Insulation

Facts to Consider and Recommended Insulation for Common Situations

When selecting insulation, consider factors such as your local climate, budget, required R-value (thermal resistance), and installation complexity. Each insulation type has unique characteristics that make it suitable for specific situations.

New Construction

Consider your budget, desired R-value, and long-term energy savings when selecting insulation for new builds.

Existing Home

Retrofitting existing homes with insulation may require careful assessment to determine the best approach.

Attics

Proper attic insulation is essential for maintaining indoor comfort and reducing energy bills.

Walls

Wall insulation helps maintain consistent temperatures and can improve overall energy efficiency.

Basement and Crawl Spaces

Insulating these areas can prevent drafts, moisture issues, and energy loss.

For personalized guidance and expert advice, we recommend consulting with our insulation professionals. They can assess your specific needs, recommend the most suitable insulation type, and provide you with a customized insulation solution.

"Knowledgeable, Nice, Personable"

I have used Insulation Pros at least three times and have been pleased each time. Their crews and owners are very knowledgeable, nice, personable and work to give you the best price they can. And when they were finished after a long day's work, they still made time to clean up the mess. I can happily recommend them to anybody needing insulation.

"Reasonably priced"

We had our attic sealed and blown insulation added. They also insulated our roof over our patio as we prepare to close it in for a 4 seasons room. The crew was on time, introduced themselves, went over everything they were going to do and then got to work. They did an excellent job and made sure to clean up. We are planning to have them back out to do 2 more jobs for us. They are very reasonably priced and do great work!

"Above and beyond"

Insulation Pros were very professional and went above and beyond to make sure my garage was properly insulated. They also did a great job making sure they cleaned up after themselves and left my garage in a clean state after their work was done. I'd highly recommend them and will certainly look to use them in the future whenever I need my attic insulation replaced.

"Extremely considerate"

From the moment we began our attic insulation journey with Insulation Pros, we were met with nothing but professionalism and dedication. Kyle, our seller, was our initial point of contact, and his understanding and empathy regarding our past experiences set the tone for our entire project. Under the guidance of Josie, the president of the company, every measure was taken to ensure we felt reassured and valued as customers.

"Happy with the service"

Tanner and Blaise just finished insulating our attic today. Very professional, they showed up on time and walked me through what the day was going to look like and what they were going to do. Very happy with the service I received from start to finish. Tanner made sure to text me before and after pictures so I could see everything they did. I am so excited to see the change in our house and the heating bill. I really appreciate the quick, friendly and professional service.
