Wall Insulation
Wall cavity insulation installed to fill the cavity rather than to occupy it.
Insulation in Northeast Arkansas
Insulation only performs if it is installed to the assembly. Compressed, gapped, or bypassed insulation is a number on paper.
What Insulation Covers
Installation quality determines actual performance far more than the rated value does. Insulation compressed behind wiring, gapped at framing, or missing at rim joists and top plates performs well below its rating, and none of that is visible once the wall is closed.
Air sealing is the part most often skipped. Insulation slows heat transfer; it does not stop air movement. A well insulated assembly with unsealed air paths still moves conditioned air out and unconditioned air in, and the insulation gets blamed for it.
Restoration and remodel work is the practical opportunity. Assemblies are already open, which is the only time correcting insulation and air sealing is inexpensive.

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
Does more insulation always mean better performance?
No. Installation quality and air sealing matter more than the number. Compressed or gapped insulation performs well below its rating regardless of what that rating is.
What is air sealing and why does it matter?
Sealing the paths air moves through an assembly. Insulation slows heat transfer but does not stop air movement, so an unsealed assembly leaks conditioned air regardless of how well it is insulated.
When is the best time to improve insulation?
While assemblies are open during a remodel or rebuild. That is the only time it is inexpensive, because access is the majority of the cost.
Does insulation need replacing after water damage?
Usually. Most insulation that has been wet does not return to its rated performance, and it can hold moisture against framing.
Should a crawlspace be insulated or encapsulated?
It depends on the crawlspace and its moisture condition. Insulating a crawlspace with an unresolved moisture problem traps the problem, so moisture control comes first.
Do you self-perform insulation?
Yes. It is one of the trades our own crews perform.
